Shane,
I know everyone will correct me if I'm wrong.
I only get a measly 6 per month also.
Ya see, this is how they figure it out.
Imitrex was developed for Migrainers.
Most Migrainers only get a few H.A.'s per month. (Most)
There-by, Ins. Co's will only allow this many, thinking wrongly, of course
that this should be the top end of their responsibility. They don't consider us Cluster sufferers in their equasion because.....
We haven't been able to get the word out to them, or to doctors and ER personnel, or to the general public. BTW...have you joined O.U.C.H.? This is what we're trying to do. Get the word out.
Sorry, it's late and I'm into my 5th. H.A. for the day. Linda
