Just a silly question.

Why dont you inject in another location?

Relpax worked great for me, it just took a while for it to kick in. like 30 mins. or more for the tablets, but after that I was good for at least 8-10 maybe even 12 hours pf.

Relpax did nothing for me, but that was 7 months ago. I have been using Zomig Nasal Spray for aborting with great success. It seems to knock out the pain in about 5 - 7 minutes about 95% of the time. You can't mix triptans so, personally, if it's between waiting 30 minutes for a pill to kick in or 7 minutes for the Zomig - I'll take the Zomig.

OR like Don said - inject somewhere else!

Bruises? [smiley=huh.gif]

I wouldn't care if imitrex injections gave me black eyes... [smiley=laugh.gif]
