Hi
My name is Lavinia, I am Italian and I am now on vacation in Miami for another fine days.
I Have a severe form of chronic cluster headache (2/6 attacks per day) resistant to preventive treatment.
Now i Have 3/4 attacks per day, but i almost finisced the injectable insumatriptan.

Some of you could help me urgently???
I do not know where to look

there someone who can give me some

PLEASE HELP ME :'(

Hi Lavinia,

Sorry I cannot help you, I am located in Norway.

But - if this was me, I would run to the ER and see if it is possible to get a prescription for the injections.

Good luck, and hopefully you will get help and be able to enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Hi Lavinia,
Do you have anybody you know living in the UK. If so they
can buy Imigran, 50mg tabs, or spray, at the chemist and
post them to you. I'm not sure if it's legal or not but it's
worth looking into. Also, if you have travel insurance then
you can go see a doctor. Red Bull energy drink with taurine
can also help in aborting CH's.

Good Luck, Hoppy.

Yes. Go buy some red bull and when you feel one coming on chug it. Works great for me and others as an abortive. HA gone within 5 minutes. 

Hi Lavinia,
My recommendation is to use the resources here on this site to locate somebody near you and network with them.

Look to the left side of the screen and you will see a tab titled "where we live", click on that. 

Then click on "United States", then click on "Florida", then scroll down to the couple dozen names of those in Miami and/or nearby cities.

If you click on each name, it will provide you with an instant email link to them. 

Email everybody until you get a favorable reply and meet up with them.

Good luck ;)

The US is crawling with Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, and other pharmacies. They carry energy drinks like red bull, melatonin, magnesium, and other over-the-counter things that many people here use with some success... melatonin is prescription-only in many European countries, but not here.  I'm not from Miami and don't know of any good doctors there. There is a Mayo Clinic about 6 hours to the north in Jacksonville, not sure how easy it is to see someone there.

Hoppy - We can only buy Imigran in tablet form here, all other triptans and forms of triptan are prescription only. The pills in addition to being of limited use are also stupid expensive -£4 each!
