Actual Nurtec ODT Patient
Lady Gaga has been dealing with migraine for most of her life
“I was diagnosed with migraine when I was 14. My experience with migraine was debilitating. I would miss school, and be in bed for days with tremendous pain in my head, behind my eyes, and all throughout my face. I couldn’t read or have any lights on, and I needed to be alone in a quiet room for hours that could lead to days until the pain subsided. I was always frustrated getting them because I didn’t want to get behind in school or miss rehearsals for after school musicals.
The truth is I was grateful that they happened maybe once a month and not all the time, however by the time I was 25, I was dealing with other medical conditions along with my migraine. The combination of pain from migraines and managing these other conditions had become so difficult that I was barely functional. And the migraines were now much more present. The hardest part about dealing with this change in my life is that it was now not once a month that I was getting migraines, but much more frequently.”

The never-ending cycle of migraine
“Through a lot of intense work my other conditions got better over time, but the one thing that almost never went away were my migraines. And these migraines were different. They were duller than the ones when I was younger, but much more frequent and they persisted all day long. As a result, they became part of my life in a much bigger way. I even found that my migraines would be so distracting it would cause stress, which would make everything worse for me. I woke up several days a week with a headache that would not go away. It was a never-ending cycle. I can’t tell you how many primary care doctors visits I’ve cried through when they ask me how I’ve been feeling.”
Nurtec ODT helped Lady Gaga find relief from migraine pain
“When I tried Nurtec for the first time I’ll never forget wishing I had found it sooner. My migraine was gone quickly*, and I was so glad I found relief. I wondered if other people could have the same experience I have.
I’m so grateful to my family, friends, and fans for going on this journey with me throughout the years so I can share my story and hopefully it will help more people find the relief they need. And I am grateful to the team who made Nurtec because they care so much about helping people with such a debilitating condition. I’m so happy to say between doctors, therapies, and good medicines including Nurtec ODT, that I’m able to live relatively pain-free without opioids or narcotics**—which are not an option for someone like me.”
