Title: Tried the Imitrex Tip
Post by KristenNYC on Jan 23^rd, 2005, 5:11pm

It was much easier than I though. I had 2 night visitors last night. One was a real beast, the other, not so much.

It helped big time. I feel some shadows on and off today. Just knowing that I have 6 doses instead of 2, puts my mind at ease. Thank you for the wonderful trick.

The Imitrex tip works well for many. You might also ask your doc about multidose vials. It's the same idea, but you use a clean and sterile needle each time.

Sorry, but I have a thing about that part of it. Glad you're finding some relief.

Hugs,

Kris

The trex tip with the stat dose thing is cool. I did that for a while. Like Kris said, if injectible trex works for you then the vials is definitely the way to go. I use the vials and .5cc, 30 guage short needle syringes. Much more sterile, easier to measure your dose and you barely feel a thing when you poke yourself.
