Hi AV8r,
have you tried 02?
I started Oxygen 2 weeks ago and was also pescribed the imigran injector. Still not touched the injector as the oxygen aborts them within 15mins, better than taking a draw full of pills!!!
PF wishes to all!!

Simon I just wanted to say how much it makes me grin when I see your posts and you banging on about O2, it is lovely to see you getting your life back and being so confident in your magic bullet (My little boy calls his O2 his "magic mask"!
I have to ask though - have you considered changing your telephone network to O2 yet?!

Sorry, been away for a bit.
Alan, I too was on the road when I started this thread.
I was off and on 80 mg of prednisone for 3 weeks. I don't recommend that! I felt terrible. I was able to finally start to taper down after I increased the verapamil to 600 mg (240 morning, 360 evening).
Do the "split dose" trick on the Imitrex! Seriously, it worked for me too!! Doubles (or more) the distance that it will go.
I am now down to 20 mg of prednisone and 360 of verapamil and have been PF for over a week. (Knock on wood...) I think I survived another bout with the beast.
Thanks to everyone here! Two weeks on the road with the beast, you guys made it bearable!

Hi all. Update. Red Bull worked sometimes and melatonin/benadryl worked sometimes. Finally saw neuro after 3 weeks wait on Weds. He was awesome! Migraine sufferer (always seek neuro that has headaches of some sort - way empathetic!) He gave me samples of Relpax (eletriptan HBr) 40 mg for preventive and percoset (sp?) for pain if the pain came anyhow). First night, I did not take preventive cuz I try to stay natural and took 1 & 1/4 percoset when pain came. After 20 minutes pain bearable, but strong monster shadows all night and no sleep.
Last night I took 1/2 of the Relpax and woke at 6 am having slept since 10 pm and no shadows! A couple times there is a nudge at my temple, but no shadows allowed! If this works again, I will let you know.
PF wishes,
Judi
