Well so far they have been mild.  I'm through my first week and I have been able to control them with just a lot of ice packs.  This is a far cry from my pass experience.  What we have done is switch my Cortef which I have been on for well over a year 1/2 in the AM and 1/2 in the PM so far 2 days with just minor hits.  I'm not sure if the triggers were from having Mono or not but if this is the worse of it then I will kiss the ground.  I was so afraid that I would get the full blown hits and be in hell for 8 weeks.  I'm so hoping that I will remain in remission.  Thanks for all the support that you have given me I really need it.  If they do take off then I will go back to Imitrex nasal.

Sami I'm glad you are coping with just ice for now but please - have some other abortives to hand okay? I would be alot happier knowing you had the means to abort if needed whilst hoping they go out of date before you do  Smiley
You might want to consider a couple of cans of red bull as an option as well, alot of us swear by it if you can get it down quick enough.
Keep updating us, we'll help all we can

I will keep on hand the Imitrex nasal.  Hoping that I won't need it.  This is such a weird cycle.  Not sure what the heck is going on but for now I'm just taking one day at a time.  The Cortef that I'm on is a steriod so I guess time will tell us everything.
