00:33-00:37
[Close-up of Antonia and Dr. Cooper]
Antonia: We're also joined by Dr. Wade Cooper, a headache specialist from the University of Michigan.
00:37-00:46
[Wide shot of Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie and Michele; close-up of Dr. Cooper]
Dr. Cooper: So a bit about me. I work in an academic headache program, and our job is to try to find ways to help people do better, how to care for their migraine better.

00:46-00:51
[Wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: I'm glad to be here as part of this. I heard you talk about this journey, about accessing health care.
00:51-00:56
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper]
Dr. Cooper: What are some of the kind of positives and negatives of trying to have that health care journey?
00:56-01:00
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Amanda: I started seeing physicians 20 years ago.

01:00-01:08
[Perspective shot of Amanda]
Amanda: My experience is most of the physicians have been comfortable sticking with drugs that have been on the market for a long time.
01:08-01:28
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: So as a headache nerd, we know that there's been so much that's happened recently with our understanding of migraines. Our toolbox looks different now. And unfortunately, some clinicians just aren't quite there yet, where they haven't really absorbed the newer science that's out there and don't know about some of these things we have to offer. Did you have the same kind of experience or was yours a bit different?
01:28-01:47
[Close-up of Kellie and Amanda]
Kellie: Kind of along that line as for me, my doctor just got so, I don't know, you get so just in that sequence of, hey, you're fine. Why fix what's not broken?
Caption: See Kellie's migraine journey.
emgality.com/patient-stories.
01:47-01:58
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: Now, sometimes our patients who have headache, they can be really focused on the pain symptoms or some of their associated symptoms, such as light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, very common features in migraine.
01:58-02:10
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper and Amanda]
Dr. Cooper: But what really helps that conversation move forward is to use words that describe incapacity. So, what does migraine not let you do? How often do you lose that time? Because those are numbers that us providers can hang on to and use that as a marker for things to improve.
02:10-02:18
[Shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Michele: That's helpful to understand. I think I've always felt I've been managed well from when the onset happened.

02:18-02:25
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Michele: But I was really surprised even hearing the discussions on the health care journey, that even this concept of preventative medication didn't really come up until I asked about it.
02:25-02:29
[Close up of Dr. Cooper and Antonia]
Dr. Cooper: We know so much more now about the science of migraine that we didn't know from before.
02:29-02:37
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Antonia: What would you tell someone who has not yet spoken to their doctor about their migraine? If they're going through migraine...
02:37-02:45
[Close-up of Antonia and Dr. Cooper]
Dr. Cooper: Don't wait. Start with that one.
Antonia: Mm hmm.
Dr. Cooper: Yeah, because like Kellie, you'd mentioned having migraine for decades and then finally getting some control.
02:45-02:53
[Wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele; close-up of Dr. Cooper and Antonia]
Dr. Cooper: I'm just so curious. I want to hear how migraine has impacted what you've done with your life and as well as outside of the headache attack itself, what it means for you to have migraine.
02:53-03:07
[Close-up of Amanda and Kellie; wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Amanda: I wasn't able to fully be the enthusiastic mother that I normally am. Not interacting with kids, not being able to spend time with them. Just. Just not feeling well. And spending time with my husband, it was negatively impacted.
03:07-03:26
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper; perspective shot of Amanda]
Dr. Cooper: I've had patients of mine tell me that they've stopped telling their family members about their migraine and there's this kind of shame almost that people have to live with, with interfering with so often with their events of their life that they just kind of swallow it and try to push through as best they can until they can't.
03:26-03:40
[Wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: That impacts lots of people. So part of what we like to hear from our patients is that there's this decision that they have had enough that they want to get care, that they want to access care. And having that conversation with providers is a way to open that door.
03:40-03:45
[Close-up of Antonia and Dr. Cooper]
Dr. Cooper: So what do you want from your physicians when you're talking to physicians about migraines? What do you want them to ask about?
03:45-03:50
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Michele: It's one thing to look at a chart and see what's been tried. It's another thing to understand what was the experience.
03:50-04:03
[Close-up of Kellie and Michele; wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Michele: Oh, I see you've tried X number of medications. Right. And it doesn't get much deeper than that versus like, well, why did you stop that one? Or what was the experience you had or what were some of the things that went really well with that?
04:03-04:14
[Close-up of Kellie and Michele]
Michele: I feel like some physicians I've been with do that really well and other ones kind of glaze over it and just say, well, we're going to try something else here. But if you don't understand why those other ones didn't work, well, you might be repeating the same situation over again.
04:14-04:38
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele; close-up of Dr. Cooper and Amanda]
Amanda: As somebody who researches a lot of things before I go in to speak with my doctor, I think, you know, it's good to to get the information and do the research to have an idea of what's available so that just in case your doctor isn't familiar with the current therapies, then you can introduce them and you can have the conversation. And maybe there's, you know, something to be gained on both sides.
04:38-04:51
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Antonia: You can advocate for yourself. I think it's something that we've talked about being really important...to have that voice when you're speaking with your doctor and to make sure you're meeting each other kind of in the middle to get to a place that feels good for both parties.
04:51-05:02
[Close-up of Antonia and Dr. Cooper]
Antonia: I'm curious what, what advice would you give someone when like they're getting to that point where they're thinking it may be time for me to talk about something else, or we may need to just talk about a different option or a different approach for migraine with their physician.
05:02-05:16
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper; wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: Yeah, I want to answer that in a couple of different ways. First one is frequency. If someone's having more than four migraine attacks in a month, go talk to somebody. The time was yesterday for that. Our knowledge of migraine is much better.
05:16-05:42
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper; wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele; close-up of Amanda and Kellie, both nodding heads in agreement]
Dr. Cooper: The second thing is, if migraine is eroding quality of life for you. The clinician might think you're doing okay because, you know, they just want to refill the medication and have a quick “everyone's doing great” visit, but maybe that's not the case, you know, and they're not going to know unless that discussion is had. So it's really worthwhile coming with a very focused piece of discussion for you and your provider so that there can be an opportunity to have a forward thinking and positive outcome from that discussion.
05:42-05:50
[Close-up of Antonia and Dr. Cooper]
Dr. Cooper: So if you had one statement you could make to other people with migraine who haven't accessed care, what would you say?
05:50-05:54
[Wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Amanda: Don't wait. I really like what you said. I think you just can't afford to wait.
05:54-05:59
[Wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Kellie: Don't let fear stop you. Don't let doubt stop you.
05:59-06:12
[Wide shot of Amanda, Kellie, and Michele; wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Michele: I feel like if you're asking yourself the question is it, is this too much for me to manage, you probably already answered the question that you need to go talk to somebody. What's holding you back to go in and find an option, right, that could work for you.
06:12-06:19
[Close-up of Dr. Cooper and Amanda; close-up of Kellie and Michele; wide shot of Antonia, Dr. Cooper, Amanda, Kellie, and Michele]
Dr. Cooper: When you take an inventory of how much migraine you've had, it really is impactful. So have that conversation with your providers.
