Jim, Sansert is an "old" drug that can work well for CH but carries a very high risk profile. You can not take Sansert for extended periods due to the risk of fibrotic syndromes...ie; kidney, heart etc. You must go off it for periods at a time (a drug holiday). Many docs are cautious of this because of the profile. I have tried it without much success and therefore went off it due to the risks. Many have tried it. As you know, it is quite expensive and occasionally difficult to find. Another downfall of sansert--you can't take Imitrex with it. Good Luck to you!
