When I started getting ha's I was in the er and they hooked me up with an iv and injected me with trex just to make sure I wouldnt have a reaction. But that was a long time ago. |

Title: Re: what would happen if . . . . Post by Ozark_E on Nov 15th, 2006, 2:16pm Uhhh, Imitrex is a (prescribed) migraine medication, which just happens to have beneficial effects for some CH sufferers, myself included. My guess is that it would blast just about any headache out of the water. And assuming the person isnt alergic and does not have a heart condition, it wouldn't be a major problem. |

I am the worlds biggest wuss when it comed to needles but the imitrex inj "pen" was something I could do myself. It would take me about 30 seconds to decide stopping the pain was more important than the needle prick and it was ALWAYS worth it (when it worked for me). (yes I am that afriad of needles that I actually wouldhave to convince myself to do it while having a CH). If you don't have abortives that wrok most of the time, get one. Even needlephobes can do it. PM me if you decide to do it and want to talk. |

Title: Re: what would happen if . . . . Post by sandie99 on Nov 16th, 2006, 12:52pm Thanks for the encouragement, guys! :) So far it has been a lot easier to get a red bull when I get hit. I won't mix these two, but it's great to know that if rb stops working and I need trext advice, it's right here. PF days, Sanna |
