For decades, migraine gold-standard treatments were studied without analyzing response by sex. This shows up everywhere....triptans behave differently in women, CGRP antibodies need months of washout before pregnancy, hormones change drug responses, etc. More sex-aware prescribing is necessary.

Nurtec saved the day

I woke up at 4am with a horrible migraine. I have never been able to pinpoint their origin.

My head was going to explode. I drank a liter of water, relaxed, and put the Nurtec tab under my tongue to let it dissolve slowly.

4 hours later my migraine was GONE.

My body is exhausted, but the pain is gone. It feels a bit like a hangover.

There was a moment of exhilaration, I got overwhelmed with feelings, and got very emotional, but it didn’t last very long.

I did shed a tear thinking what a difference Nurtec would have done when I started having migraines 40 years ago: it would have spared me from days of suffering and agony.
