She hasn't had the DHE yet. That is about the only thing she hasn't had. She can't take the Imitrex. She tried it last year and really thought she was having a heart attack. We are taking many other things, just waiting for them to kick in. My biggest concern about the DHE is that I've heard you have to change IV sites. We cant do that with her. Her only access is through a port. You can't get a vein anywhere else on her body. When she was in the hospital before the port was installed, they got an IV in her neck, after 7 stabs, and were so scared to try anything else, she kept that exact IV stab for over 10 days. Something you just don't hear about! If the DHE rots the port lines, we are screwed to a new degree.
