Mopar's very occasionally had to wait 20 minutes for relief from Imitrex when the ha/s were Kip 9 or 10. I only mention this because he was tempted to have another shot when it didn't work as usual after 6-10 mins believing he'd "missed", it'd dribbled out or something else. He waited and the ha went after 20 mins.

How are you doing now? Did it work, Bris?
Sorry you're getting hit.
As i said before, I am the biggest needle wuss. When I first started using the stat dose, my husband gave me the shots.
It was so much better when, after some high powered coaxing/coaching, I learned to do it myself because I was in control of the needle.
You can do it!(well, not if you've just jabbed) think about it to try it next time...not that I want you to have a next time.

surprisingly it worked right away... within a few minutes. that wasn't so bad after all... i could feel that was going to be a big one too. i'm surprised that it really worked.....
next time i'll just give myself the shot......
i feel fine...a little tired, but fine.
joy.... although the shot worked fairly quickly i used the excuse to take a mini nap on my bosses couch... hehe
i know most of you can't lie down during an attack, but it seems to help me and calm me down....
thanks again for being here guys....

Bris,
Sorry to hear that you got another one, at least the trex seems to work fairly well. Just remeber not to take more than 2 doses in a 24 hour period.
Hang in there-

Just my opinion, but I never trusted anyone to give my trex shots to me.....if they had by chance fucked it up, I would have had to kill them.
Get the 02 and something besides trex (another triptan of choice), the trex will only give you more headaches. And don't ever nap in the afternoon.

I figured I was pretty addicted (oops, dare I use that word) to the computer but when I have a hit coming, I'm definately not thinking about you guys or my computer. Got much more important things to panic about.
