Rebounds from imitrex
Aug 4^th, 2008 at 11:12am

OMFG. So I was at a party Saturday. didn't want to leave early, so I gave myself an injection. about 3 hours later the devil came back, so of course I did another injection. Yesterday sucked. I was affaid to take to do anymore injections. I would use my O2, but about 2 mins after I took my mask off the devil would let me know he is still there. (kip 1-2) I don't know what to do nect. I have already been on two packs of prednisone. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's probably not rebounds but reattacks. Sounds like you are in high cycle. If you just finished the pred taper that could be it too. They don't always break the cycle. The beast is notoriously angry when the taper ends and he's allowed out of his cage again.

1st get back on the O2 when it comes back. Better a dry mouth than to fight naked.

2nd call your Dr and get on some kind of prevent.

3rd don't let those O2 tanks run dry.

4th take the two Imitrex shots you're allowed a day if you need them (and have them?). Wait at least two hours.

Typically pred tapers are given as a way to hold off the hits while you ramp up on a prevent. Preventative meds can take up to two weeks to become effective.

Have you read through the treatment guidlines? Here are three good links that should give you an idea of the options that are out there.

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.
