And understand we do John! Sorry the beast has returned to haunt your nights. 10 years was a good break.
That pred taper should be given along with a preventive like Verapamil or Lithium or ... The idea is to arrest the beast with the steroid while the prevent gets up to a theraputic level. That can take 10-14 days.
I'm using verapamil immediate release @ 400mg/day right now. I'm still getting occasional hits and shadows but the frequency and intensity is way down.
Oxygen aborts fast. Has to be 100% O2 @ 15lpm using a non-rebreather mask. No med side effect. It is my main abortive. But you have to get on it fast.
If I don't get to the O2 Imitrex injections are my savior. They've never let me down yet.
The latest in treatment strategy can be found here:

Here's wishing you another 10 years of PF time. In the mean time let's see if we can't make this cycle short and as easy as possible.
