Hi, this has been on the forums before, very positive but the article says "Erenumab is not yet licensed for use in the UK" so can't see it being available next year? Even when licensed, will the NHS fund it??????

My neurologist said that she will continue to give me botox instead of erunumab even when it becomes available because it is cheaper and would have a similar benefit for my kind of headache. I have chronic migraine without aura with between 13 -30 days a month in frequency. Although of course at least it would give me an option if the botox stopped working.

Interesting thanks. So sorry to hear about the amount you are having! Sympathies for you

Cheers! I'm used to it it's been like this for most of my adult life what irritates the most is the loss of time more than pain. Mind you botox about halves them I just haven't been able to have it while I've been pregnant and breastfeeding.
