0:12 I had such dreams. I wanted to have a great career, be an amazing mom. Experience life.
0:23 When I started having migraine, it stopped everything in its tracks. All I’ve known for 18 years now, is pain.
0:33 My name is Electra, and this is my migraine story.
0:37 I was a stay-at-home mom, brand-new baby, he was only about 2 weeks old, and that’s when my migraine began.
0:44 In the beginning, migraine was happening a couple of times a month. When I had my second kid, it was happening a couple of times a week at least.
0:58 Sometimes I felt like I was just in a constant migraine.
1:01 It starts with a sharp, stabbing pain in my head. The light hurts. Noises hurt. Smells. I get nauseous. You tense up. It affects my neck and my back.
1:15I would end up curled in a ball. It was debilitating and it takes over my life. My kids never got to do extracurricular activities because I wouldn’t know if I could pick them up.
1:30I’ve never had true friendships. I’ve just kind of been living day by day. I told myself I just can’t keep living like this, there has to be something that can help me.
1:49 I felt like everything else my doctors and neurologists were having me try, they weren’t getting rid of it.
1:57 They didn’t have any new suggestions as to what could help. And that’s when I found a study that would include migraine.
2:04 I was able to take part in the VYEPTI clinical trial. When they said I qualified for this infusion medication, I was really excited.
2:16 The infusion part didn’t bother me because I thought that having an infusion once every three months was a lot easier than having to remember to take a pill.
2:27 It only took 30 minutes and then it’s done with.
2:31 The next day when I woke up, the constant cloudiness in my head was gone.
2:39I wanted to test out my triggers, so my sons planned a trip outdoors. We were outside for 6 hours and there was no pain.
2:52 It was a totally new experience. I didn’t ever remember feeling this way.
2:57 After the clinical trials, I tried other medications in the meantime but they didn’t give me that same feeling.
3:06 When I heard that VYEPTI got FDA approved, I was exhilarated.
3:18 I now knew that I could be around my triggers. I stopped carrying my rescue medicine.
3:25 I plan to travel. I’m trying new foods, I’m spending my time with my kids.
3:35 Before VYEPTI, I felt like I was just a figure and not an actual parent. Now every day I'm just trying to get to know my kids.
3:50 My oldest has moved off to college and I feel like I've missed so much with him.
3:58 I just want to experience life with them. I want us to laugh together, I want us to have adventures together, and now I can.
4:08 For 18 years, I just existed. Now, I feel like I’m experiencing the world for the first time.
