Andrea West experienced severe migraines for 70 years until a new class of medication called gepants, specifically atogepant, changed her life by preventing attacks altogether. Historically, migraines have been perceived as a condition with limited treatment options, with practices ranging from ancient Egypt's clay crocodiles to trepanation in the 17th century. Recent medical advances and research have transformed the understanding of migraines, highlighting that they can be treated and managed effectively, offering hope to the approximately one billion people affected globally.
I used to think that disability travels with pain, and it's only when the pain gets severe that people are impaired. That's not only false, but we have seen debilitating symptoms manifest in other ways.
Medical advances in the past few decades, including the approval of gepants and related treatments, have redefined migraine as a treatable and manageable condition.
