While I'm not a proponent of triptans for CH because of the many anecdotal cases of evidence showing many negatives, the best chance for CHers to get new drugs out such as the CGRP receptor antagonists, is if we as sufferers can get our numbers out there to the researchers and the pharmco's; one way is to make sure whatever studies they are doing, get filled.
Just a heads up for anyone who's interested.
