Hi Derek:
Sorry about your headaches. I haven't
read the other replies to you post. Hope my
info isn't duplicate. Imitrex will knock a
cluster out in about 10 minutes. I personally
consider Prednisone a blessing and curse.
A blessing because at high doses it does put the
majority of us in remission plus it's CHEAP. For
myself I have to start at 80mg. per day. A lot
of Doc's start the dose way to low. A curse
because of the side effects. Insomnia, sweating,
mood swings. That may not happen with you. I
think the benefits of the drug outweigh any risk.
The Imitrex is real expensive, about $75.00
for 2 injections. I haven't tried 02 yet. Let
us know how it works.
Best Regards//Phil C
