For Migraine "Those injections for my headaches that the doctor gave me are amazing! I wake up with my headache a lot, so I can't even stop them before they start, and like this morning, they're usually paired with nausea, and I end up throwing up. This injection is awesome, though! Quick relief without having to make a trip to the ER. I usually get Toradol shots at the hospital that make the headache disappear within twenty minutes or so. The initial injection of the Sumavel hurt a little and caught me off guard, but it felt like a bee sting, it just hurt for a second, and then it was over. It bled a little bit, and about a minute after, my head started to feel heavy, and I felt a little dizzy. I went to sleep, woke up, and felt better."

For Migraine "I tried Sumavel DosePro for the first time approximately 3 months ago. It does take away about 80-90% of the headache pain, but I am left with a 'sinus' feeling headache that really hurts when I cough, sneeze, or bend over, which is typical for me for a day after a migraine. The injection sting feels a little like being snapped by a rubber band. It didn't feel extremely painful to me. I do get a fairly intense burning sensation mostly along my scalp, but to a lesser degree across the surface of my skin as well. My arms feel very heavy, and it was frightening at first. My biggest problem is that I get intensely sleepy, and for about 20 minutes, I feel like I'm operating in 'slow motion'."

For Migraine "I can't believe all the great ratings for this. Maybe my skin is just extremely sensitive, but this was the most painful injection I've ever had in my entire life. I chose the thigh over the belly, and I actually screamed so loudly I'm sure I scared everyone in the reception area. I was not at all prepared for it to hurt as much as it did. The unexpected sharp pain only made my headache worse, and even paired with a shot of Demerol, my headache did not clear."
