A member asked:
I take a monthly shot of emgality for my migraines and ive been having some regular headaches that are focused on the right side of my head. ive been just taking ibuprofen for them but is it something i should bring up?

Pleased to hear of success of Emgality. However, it is NOT perfect and some breakthrough headaches are likely to occur. Would not use Ibuprofen, and instead use Aleve (naproxen), and yes, do let your doctor know. Best done by keeping a migraine diary.
