Title: Best print out to bring to DR.
Post by Biggiestyle on Feb 25^th, 2005, 11:44am

What would be the best thing to bring to my Doctor?

I just got off the Predisone and had the worst night EVER last night. I think I need to try an abortive.

It seems my CH are worse than they were 2 years ago. I hope I haven't turned Chronic.

Don't worry about being chronic until this cycle has lasted a year.
Print this.

If you are not using any triptans you may want to look at this also. You can use oxygen safely with it.

Thanks all.

Went to the Dr. and he seemed to do some research on his own. I brought a ton of stuff.

Well I am going on Verapril and he gave me Zomag Nasal shots incase I get hit. He also gave me a o2 Script and the are bringing a 5 foot tank on Monday!!!!

Insurance covers 90%!!! Cost for me is $15.

I should of started the Verapril while doing my 10 days of Pred. Oh well. My doctor is learning with me.

Hopefully cycle will break in the next few weeks.
