cafergot, a lifesaver?

Hi all,
I started cafergot about 9 days ago, and I have been Pain free since then.   I dont know if it is the cafergot, or the nine months of hell was going away on its own, but I wanted to spread the good news.
 
this is my combo,
verap 480mg day
cafergot (one tab at bed)
9mg melatonin at bed
 
I dont think I have ever been soo happy in a long time.  I want to thank everyone who gave me some support during what is the darkest days of my life.  I will try to do the same to others who are going through what I was going through.
 
I am even thinking of throwing myself a party.  Yahooooooooooooo.

Nothing makes us all happier then success stories. I temper that with the warning to always be on guard! He has a sneaky way of coming back in the back door  when you think the front is boarded up solid. That being said, so glad to hear you're getting a break. With a tip of my hat to you chronics, 9 months is an eternity to us episodics.  
 
Cafergot is my best friend too but I use it a little differently. Oxygen is my front line abort, I take a cafergot as soon as I start the 02. The 02 beats him down, the cafergot keeps him in hiding for up to 12 hours! Hope you have a record breaking remission, you've earned a break!

I also take Cafergot and it works for me, of course sometimes I have to go the imitrex way but still I always keep Cafergot in my arsenal against the beast.
