Injections and Migraine

Does anyone suffer Migraine and does this effect anti-vegf injections?

I'm due my injection tomorrow but have been suffering with daily (functional) Migraine which is currently unmedicated but being explored.

I've called the eye hospital today to enquire if Migraine stops you from being able to have an injection but I was told they don't know, but thought it would be OK and just to have it. I'm panicking that this may cause complications and I'm not sure who to ask for advice as I'm very worried.

Hi I suffer from migraines and have been having injections for 7 years. They have never stopped me having an injection however my ocular distortions never last more than 30 minutes followed by intense headaches. For my part it wouldn't stop me having an injection. Good luck for today. Best wishes.

Thank you for this reassuring message. Thankfully my Migraine behaved and I was able to gave my first injection. Glad that's over with!
