Rick,
Thanks for the advice on the injections, but I used them 2 years ago, and they gave me chest pains that really scared the
H--- out of me!! I smoke (dumb , I know) which is probly why. Did work fast tho, but also hated the "hands around the throat feeling" Besides, I get sometimes 5 a day, and my Dr. would only give me 2 syringes a week!! No idea how some of these folks get their hands on so much Imitrex, but glad they can use it with no problems. The nasal spray was worth a try, but the O2 does more to relieve the pain....usually. The syringes just seemed to be too much, too fast , for me. Sure is amazing stuff tho, if only it could be a little more "safe" for regular use
