Hi Everybody. Thank you all for your help. Went to doc on Friday & took everything I printed from the site. She phoned Neurologist who suggested following:
Maxalt (10mg risatriptan wafers which you put under your tongue at onset of an attack), Panafcort (according to Swen's advice but little lower dose - suppose me being female, but with large dose reducing over weeks) & oxygen.
Friday afternoon when attack started I took the maxalt, and within app. 15 minutes headache was gone. I didn't have oxygen yet then. I also had no real side effects, which had me real nervous before! I had this weird heavy feeling, and were a bit more relaxed, but had I been at work, I would have been able to carry on working (computers & accounting by the way). So yeah, real pleased and relieved.
Saterday when shadow became a bit painfull I took oxygen without the maxalt, and shadow went away. But I have been having quite a bit of shadows for the last couple a weeks, which didn't go over to attacks (first full blown ch was on Tuesday last week with one each day), and I think that on Saterday it could have only been shadow not intending to go to full blown attack.
BUT Sunday was headache free, not one!!  D
Just thought I'd let everyone know. I however do have some movement today, just shadow, not pain yet.
Laura
