Sorry the headaches are back !!!! Hope it's a short visit from the beast. If you are talking about the Imitrex nasal spray I tried it, takes too long to work for me .... I love the shots though !!! They work great. That and O2 are my lifelines.

Hi, sorry to hear you are back in the swing of things...

I just thought I would let you know that I love the imitrex nasal spray...worked for me my last cycle....I guess everyone reacts differently from each med. although I never had any meds until last cycle, and that was the imitrex ns. Maybe I should look into the shots if they work that much faster............
Hugs and fresh ice packs,

Nicholas,

Since the Oragel seems to help you, talk to your doctor about getting some Lidocaine drops.

You may remember the many discussions about it on this board in the past, but people were using 4-5% solution. I got some minor relief with it a couple of years ago at 10-15%, but it wasn't really a lot of help and I found better ways to abort.

You will need to find a pharmacy that can "compound" it for you.

Nicholas,

Sorry to hear the beast is back....

I just finished a cylce. Mine show up about every two years too. And like you, my last cycle was really different from all the others ::)

Hang in there during your cycle -- we're pulling and praying for you!!
