My experience-Allergy to emgality, insurance won't do Aimovig, just tried Ajovy and have a big rash. Any one experience allergies to these?

I did Emgality 8 months and finally developed a full body reaction of hives, sneezing, etc. Doctor wanted me to do Aimovig so I got one shot of that and insurance said no way. Now I've done my Ajovy for the first time 30 minutes ago and the rash is growing.

I'm just bummed out because these medications actually really help me, like a lot. Mixed with my botox it has basically eradicated my migraines. I went from every single day to maybe 2 a month. I didn't love aimovig for the first month, I had severe stomach cramping but it did help my head and didn't give me an allergic reaction at all. Now I'm afraid Ajovy will end up with a full body reaction since I have a rash the size of a softball within 30 minutes of the first shot. (I have an epipen and am well trained in when to use it)

I'm just looking for support, has anyone else had good success with the CGRP meds but suffered from actual allergic reactions to them?
