Re: Aimovig

Okay, folks, here's the latest. After a thorough discussion with my neurologist, we've upped my dosage of the Aimovig to once every two weeks (one 70 mg every two weeks). The Once a Month injection was controlling the migraines for the month, but for the RLS, the effect was wearing off after about 2...

Re: Aimovig

The shots happen once a month, self-administered like an epipen-type injection. Two dosage amounts are available: 70 mg and 140 mg. I'm taking the 70 mg. It was interesting. Near the end of the first month, the migraines happened rapidfire and the RLS (really starting to dislike that name "leg" sinc...

Re: Aimovig

Aimovig

Re: Two hours of sleep

I've had RLS off and on for years, but it didn't start interfering with life until about five years ago when it became a constant, every night thing. I'm 63. More recently, it's in my arms, sometimes at night and sometimes during the day. The PLMW perhaps has been present for some time, but it's bec...

Re: Two hours of sleep

Is PLMW a sign of augmentation? RLS is daily. PLMW is probably 2-3 times a week - unless I try to take a nap, and then RLS and PLMW start double teaming. The PLMW is a recent development, or else it's become more of a nuisance that I went searching for a name for the leg jerking.
