Welcome Knothead,

Three injections in 4 hours..... that's no good.
Which preventatives do you use, and have you ever tried the oxygen?
Furthermore it could be useful to try to determinate your personal triggers. Mine for instance are middle eastern food, alcohol, perfumes and the like.

All the best, Pascal.

I'm not understanding real well... did you say they gave you 3 DHE shots in 4 hours?  Two are acceptable one hour apart, but the third should have waited for 8 hours. If the second one didn't work, then the odds of it working weren't good.

Sounds like you need some O2 and to calm down a little (aggitation doesn't help).

Are you on any prevents?

Help us out here....

Hugs BD

Oxygen.

Triptans cause increased number of hits and increased intensity.  Learn it, believe it, live it.  I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.&&
