Instant Success!!!!!

After 18 years of being mis diagnosed as migraine sufferer (typical) 3 years ago a doc recognised me as a clusterhead. No medications or pain killers ever worked.
Until now!!!!
Sumatriptan succinate (6mg) self injections (Imigran Mk II)
Had my first sample shot last night. 7 minutes to work and then the beast instantly let go. From Kip 8 to no pain.
Am I lucky?
Can I possibly hope this will happen all the time?
How much does this drug cost? (I live in Australia)
Please help me with these questions.
Happy for now anyway.

Imigran, or Imitrex in the USA, is the #1 choice as an abortive for clusterheadaches.
Cost? Way too much! It's a migraine medicine and there's 10's of thousands of 'grainers to sell to. Big $$ for the drug company. And the big $$ is the reason insurance companies won't approve enough for clusterheads to get through a cycle.
Have you tried oxygen as an abortive and/or verapamil as a preventative?

Hey. Hey. Hey, now.  GlaxcoSmithKline is my client.
I agree, Bob. These manufacturers, my clients or not, get way too much $$$ for drugs we desparately need. Unfortunately, I am part of the problem since my firm does the patent litigations for many durg companies like Eli Lilly, GSK, & Scherring.

gills imitrex injection i pay 140.00 one statdose to injections in side.When you go to your doctors ask them for samples they are free.Make sure you use the imitrex tip on the left side of the board so you can make the 2 shots into 4 or 6 shots.They also have imitrex in 6mg vials so yoy can load your own needles.

Yes Bob G. Depend on Verapamil. They reduce my frequency but the CH's that get through are tough to handle.
Doc will not give me O2 because I smoke.
