Couple of Questions Please

1. Anyone live in West Central FL? I could use a recommendation for a good neuro.
2. I have a new job & no insurance. Going to a reg dr that doesnt know much about CH. I've used Verapamil twice in the past & it worked so he just wrote me a prescription (not working this time). How much does oxygen cost? Imitrix cost?
3.. Anyone had any sucess with meds other than verapamill?
Thanks....Lynn

I can only answer #3.
I took 3 mg of "normal" melatonin, combined with 2mg of "time release" melatonin 45 min before bed, preceded by a hot, steamy shower 1 hour before bed, you must do the shower first, otherwise the melatonin will kick in whilst you are in said shower and you will be lucky if you don't fall on your ass in the bathroom, after this is done and you "may" have a wonderful night's sleep without interuption by our common "friend". You wake up in the morning, take 20 mg of fluoxitene(prozac, for all non-pharmacy majors), combined with 250 mg of magnesium, then travel down to your nearest convenience store, get a big cup of joe, or cappuccino........ drink it down and enjoy pf times........ at least that is what worked for me.......... 2 weeks into my cycle I did this and was pf after 1 week of this treatment........my cycles normally last 3 MONTHS........ disclaimer- This treatment may not work for everyone

Imitrex is expensive without insurance. Hell it is expensive with insurance. Like $180 for 6 tabs and more for NS and not sure what injections cost.
I know that people get Welding O2 and it is not expensive. There are people who can help you with setting up the rig so that it is safe with a bubbler and such.
I wish you luck.
PF Wishes to you,
Tiannia

Imitrex injections are about $55 a shot or $110.00 for a box of two. When you see the doc, ask for some samples and try it. About the cheapest thing for an abortive is oxygen. The oxygen experts here can answer the question on the cost of it.
Thomas gave excellent advice on trying the melatonin and other combinations as they are inexpensive and do work for some of us.
Good luck and welcome,
John

My ox bottle was $116.00, (22 liter) and it cost me 11.00 for a refill. My insurance pays 80 percent of that. Well worth the price. Good luck
