Title: A new start
Post by Damian_c on Sep 2^nd, 2002, 4:53am

Firstly , aplogies if we are going over old ground.

However having suffered for some 12 years now with CH . And having being prescribed sanomigran which was a complete waste of time . (Ive now been placed on verapamil 3x80 mg per day , combined with 20 mg imigran nasal spray- 70 pct hit ratio when caught early enough -when required .
Im glad to say it has kept the CH at bay . Its the first time that ive been able to work successfully during one of these 6/8 week bouts .
So something positive to come out of it all .

Glad to hear you are finding some relief. The days look a bit brighter when we have had some rest and some PF moments. I hope it continues for you.............

You may want to have your doc increase the verapamil a bit to see some true results with it. I didn't get any relief with it until my doc upped it to 3 times the amount you're on. Good luck! Glad to hear that the sumatriptan is helpin' ya.

PFDAN......................... Drk^Angel

Glad you've found some relief at last! I'm with Drk...you can go up a ways on the verapamil if you need to. I'm at 240mg 3X/day right now. But I'm a freak, and I admit it; most people seem to do well at 240 2X/day.

Hope your PFDAN continue!
