Hi Don.
Thanks for the words of advice. I have been somewhat concerned about the possible adverse effects of Imitrex.
Since you mentioned that you stopped using it - but are obviously still suffering from CH's, what are you currently using?
I had a severe attack at work today and could not move. I had used my last two Imitrex injections last night and was out.
I panicked and called my wife who went to the pharmacy and brought me two more syringes. (By the way, the cost has gone up from
$79.00 for two to $99.00 in just two days) By the time she got here, I was climbing the walls and the people I work with were
terrified...14 minutes later, I was back in action. The possibilities of heart damage and even death scare me but the instant-
relief factor is strong! What do you suggest?
I am sorry that you are suffering again after two years pain free! I'm glad that you say the most recent cycle is over. Let's pray
it is at LEAST two years before they return - or - hopefully, never.
Bill
