Just saw a specialist... got an 02 prescription, imitrex prescription (boy is this expensive)

and he gave me an occipital nerve block which smarted but not as bad as a CH.... Hopefully this works.

I never would have been able to come this far this fast without this site and the help of you guys...

thanks a ton, and Ill be posting my progress asap.

So... Um. The doc was really nice and gave me an imitrex sample. But I was wondering where in my leg I should inject? Are there directions? I dont want to open it... to find out.. Do you guys just go anywhere in the leg?

p.s I asked him whether 2-3 mg of imitrex would do the trick but the smallest manufactured is the 6mg. He said yes that 2-3 mg would do the trick and if he were to prescribe me a vial and my own syringe I could do this (so thats really good for you guys out there using the imitrex tip)

but also for me he said Im a big young guy and not really on other medications so if I needed a third it wouldnt kill me.

Anyway the guy I saw was Dr. Alexander Mauskop here in NYC and while expensive he seems to know what he is talking about.

So you can knock off 3 hits with one injector instead of one. Here is the link: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or

Yes.. I saw the imitrex tip, but my doc said Im a big guy (im about 6'4 240) ok ok I could stand to lose a few pounds.

and that 3 wouldnt be a problem and I have never gotten more than 2 episodes in a day so.. Im good. Plus the doc said if I ever needed to he would just prescribe a vial and needle...
I am trying to be optimistic but dont want to assume this is
Hopefully the prednisone, batch's combo and some other herbs vitamins and minerals I threw in are doing the trick...

I dont want to assume this is over for now, or for good. But as of this moment Im just happy to have been PF for this long.
