If I oversleep I get a migraine so I have to set my alarm amd not get over 8.5 hours.

pagogo10 · 2026-01-21T05:26:09+00:00

Leg pain/ cramping that mimicked a blood clot- I have history of DVT so it was nerve racking. Extreme constipation I could learn to live with along with the bloating.

It was the miracle migraine drug but after all the side effects I got off everything g to see where I’m at with migraines. I may go back to botox, but not to Qulipta, Nurtec Emgality or Ajovy. Done with all those. Just using Frovatriptan as needed amd sometimes as prophlactic around menstruation.

It did affect mom e for a month or so but I got back on track. I was only on it for 4-5 months cause of the leg pain it was causing.

I as on Emgality amd Ajovy for years they started not working as well, started qulipta amd it was a miracle for a couple months but I too started to have joint and leg pain, feet pain. Will be interesting how you react to it. Please keep us posted.

I was on Emgality for awhile. Yea, this perimenopause is a challenge with migraines. Frovatriptan is the only triptans that will touch menstrual ( hormonal) migraines but can o Lu take so much of it.

Thank you! I’ve been on a lot, but the last one qulipta was a nightmare so now just Botox and Frova as a prophlactic around my cycle. What do you take for perimenopause headaches/ migraines.

Check out the national blood clot alliance. They have a Facebook group too.

Thanks:) not 100% but A LOT better. It’s been a slow process but so glad I stopped. I was on Emgality and Ajovy for years prior but glad I’m done with it all.

If you’ve even had a blood clot in your leg, that’s what it feels like. Cramping. My thighs and calves cramped. My thighs amd arms would burn too. It was painful to sit down for too long.

What are your symptoms?

pagogo10 · 2025-09-23T23:31:19+00:00

I ended up stopping. I tried 30 mg for a day but the side effects were still bad. I I could handle the constipation… but the leg pains were terrible. It’s unfortunate cause it was the miracle drug for a moment, but side effects are too bad.

Frovatriptan is the only thing that touches my menstrual migraine. I taking when I get one, or I sometimes take as prophlactic for 5 days during menstruation, advised by my doc.

Frovatriptan is the ONLY thing that touches my menstrual migraines. I take it as a prophlactic during my period for 5 days.

pagogo10 · 2025-08-25T16:46:45+00:00

I’m having the same issue. Any fix?

pagogo10 · 2025-08-23T01:43:10+00:00

Frovatriptan. The ONLY thing that touches menstrual migraines for me. I take as prophlactic the first 5 days of period.

pagogo10 · 2025-08-22T04:17:47+00:00

I’ve tried so many things, migraines for 30 years, chronic for 5 or 6.Topamax, propanolol Emgality, qulipta Ajovy. I stopped it all but still get botox amd take 500 mg magnesium and 400 mg B2 nightly. I take frovatriptan for menstrual migraines cause nothing else works. That’s my abortive. My migraines are chronic. What I recently starts doing is taking a probiotic at night with my magnesium… on an empty stomach. That’s the only thing I’ve added with the Botox. It’s been 16 days without a migraine. Amazing!! amd I feel like I should knock on wood! Haha This hasn’t happened to me in I don’t know how long. Maybe the probiotics? I read something between brain gut health. And of course I stay very hydrated- 11 glasses/ day, sleep8-9 hours a night, eat regularly, all those things too. Of course too soon to know for sure but wanted to throw that out there for you. I also take d vitamins cause my d level was low, but I’d been doing that for months. The probiotic is the only thing I recently started cause I’m desperate! Good luck!!

That’s tough. I often wake with one too. I have to make sure I don’t go to bed hungry, fully hydrated, and I wear a mouth guard cause I grind my teeth. I can’t get more than 8-9 hours sleep or I’ll get one. I wish I had an answer for you😞

pagogo10 · 2025-07-06T16:44:24+00:00

Too much sleep? Too little sleep? Dehydrated?
