The linked article discusses higher than normal CGRP levels in migraine as well as fibro sufferers and exploring CGRP as potential management. Although I have yet to get an official diagnosis of fibro, (working on it, probably will I just moved recently and need a PC) I (33f) experience to the letter fibro symptoms with my migraines and now independently of them, something that’s only become more prominent over the last 10 or so years and I’ve been dealing w migraines for 17 years. I’ve been participating in clinical research for vyepti, a CGRP-inhibitor given through IV infusion every 3 months (for my migraines) but the first infusion seemed to have also reduced my fibro pain. Now that it is wearing off, I’m flaring badly. Thankfully I have the next infusion tomorrow. I will keep track of the impact on my fibro symptoms as well, so I will let folks here know that goes if people are interested. Curious to know if any others here with migraine have noticed any overlap in terms of things that are helpful for both, or just generally have any thoughts on the relationship between the two or how they show up together or separately for you personally. Thanks!
