Svenn,
Is it possible to get a second opinion?
Bypass is serious business.
Just a thought.
Super vibes to you, Amigo.
Well wishes & best of luck
on whatever the Dr.'s
(and you) decide.
Pain Free times to you too.
Please keep us advised, the best you can.

Clusterville,
Does anyone know of meds for
CH that are not threatening
to someone with heart problems?
Nothing that has a contraindication
against the heart.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

I agree with KOP, get a second opinion. Did a cardiologist tell you this?
Good Luck,

Yes, sorry to say, the trex and heart probs are incompatable. Hope they can respond to your need to abort with something safer, but the heart docs might not be the one's to know what to do about clusters in this situation. Get medical counseling advise about what to do about abort. I'm sure you have inquired.
I'm no doc, so I've not any solutions. Then there's the period after the bypass too, same prob, what to use. I'm sure they can suggest something for you.
Pulling all I can for you. The bypass has a very good success rate and is done daily by the docs who do that. You will be alright, sore, but alright. Please, let us know how you are doing. It's a situation, but a solution is out there. Best to you through this time. Will be thinking about you.

Damn, my mad viking buddy, that is tough news!!! I know how much trex has kept you sane (well, ALMOST sane, anyhow). Maybe the patch will be able to keep you relatively pain free, until the bypass?
I hope you know, that my prayers and vibes are there for you.
You know how to get in touch with me. Let me know how I can help.

Svenn, By-pass surgery is extremely safe with less than 1% morbity/mortality. I've harvesting vein and assisting on these surgeries for over 10 years now and they continue become more routine. As for the no imitrex, I think it will be longer than expected but they should be able to come up with a safe alternative. My prayers go out to you and don't stress over the by-pass situation. things tend to work themselves out in the long run. "CHMan"

Hey Svenn, I truly hate that for you, I suppose you will now have to learn alternative methods for dealing with the Beast! Just remember, Imitrex has only been around now for 8 years. I am sure you will find a way to deal with these.

I was given Imigran injections (what you call Imitrex) eleven years ago  - just an aside.
why not O2? - I'm familiar with triptans being bad for heart conditions, but as I do not take O2 yet, I'm not sure. Wouldn't this be OK for you to try?

Zaira...is that your hon? WOW  hat a babe!! ahhhh...sorry!!! 
Svenn.... have you tried oxygen? It works great for me and I love it more than my trex!!
Dad had triple bypass surgery about 8 years ago...he's doing great. With today's technology, I wouldn't be too worried. Of course it's the heart and any surgery is a risk...but I think it's worth it.
good luck
hugs
