Title: Imitrex spary, administer which side?
Post by sandt38 on Aug 12^th, 2008 at 8:21pm

Since this cycle seems to be bringing on fast hits, my doc just switched me to imitrex spray. I am having left sided attacks, and I was just wondering which side you guys are having success administering the spray on, your cluster side, other side, or it doesn't matter.

If I wake up tonight chances are real good I will have a swollen left nostril ;).

Not only that, but I feel the sonuvabitch working in my jaw right now. So hopefully I get a REAL quick reply ;)

Thanks.

I just spray it in whichever nostril is clear and available. Doesn't really make a difference which side you use. At least that is how it is for my ch and migraines.

Thanks!

And thanks to your son Chris for his service. May God bless and keep him.
