Don,
Oxygen is a mainstay treatment,
but it depends on how quickly you start
using it when you first get the warning
signs. I still swear by oxygen, but when
I wake up with a kipscale of 10 it can
still take hours for it to go away.
Last cycle was the first trying
Imitrex (nasal) with the oxygen and still
had quite a few bouts lasting 2 1/2 hrs
and accredit the 2nd dose of Imitrex to
killing the beast. 2 1/2 hrs @a kipscale
of 10. Like a have said before next time
it's back to just Oxygen and Percodan.
I never had rebound headaches like I
did on Imitrex.
