Blocking the Trigger

Migraine treatment used to be borrowed — blood-pressure pills, antidepressants, botox — until CGRP drugs arrived designed for the disease itself, and the people counting headache days started counting differently.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts span the class: monthly injections that halved attack frequency, gepants that abort a migraine without the vasoconstriction worries of triptans, medication-overuse cycles finally exited, and the chronic-to-episodic reclassifications that read like parole. Writers include constipated trade-offs and non-responders switching within class, insurance step-therapy endured, the fifteen-year chronic migraineur whose calendar emptied, and the honest quarter for whom the miracle drugs were merely drugs.

Who it's for

For anyone whose life is scheduled around attacks, starting a CGRP drug and counting days, or switching agents in search of their responder story.
