1st day without pred. It sure feels a little scary as it stopped my ch in it's tracks. I have a imitrex nasal spray for a abortive and hoping the verapamil will be my preventive. Sorry to any-one if I was "difficult"earlier but was having a time of it with meds. Still pf tonight but it is still early. Thanks every-one because you ALL helped me!

If you haven't been getting regular hits at the low doses of the pred. then you might be off the hook.
Fingers crossed.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

But be sure to keep an eye on your blood pressure if you naturally run low.

Good to hear that you're doing better, Barry.
Difficult? Nah. I will say that I have an easier time understanding what you're saying now.... 
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Jonny was talking about Red Bull and the like, not Gatorade. I believe it is taurine (am I correct people?) that COULD cause a problem with verapomil.
Good luck and PF days!
