Title: I bought imigran
Post by sandie99 on Apr 4^th, 2005, 11:39am

I've told you before that I'm so scared of injections... I finally decided to toughten myself up and got few packets of imigran injections.

I've had 11 PF days, which was nice. Once CH returned on Saturday, I actually forgot that I have imigran and took maxalt instead... Well, now I'm learning the instructions so that when the next one comes, I know what to do.

Still scared, though....

No worries Sandie!!!

The needles are so thin you really do not feel them unless you push in further than they are supposed to go....subcutaneous: just under the skin should do the trick!

Stay tough ;)

Cool Sandie. Hope it's good for you.

Sandies Mom has all the donuts, Bob. But she'll give you one, I'm sure. ;)
Sandie, did the kudzu stop working? Did it ever help you a lot? Just curious. I'm sure you'll do just fine. The first time is the hardest.

Nani,
once the kudzu pack I had run out, I stopped taking it. I got email from someone here who informed me that taking kudzu and verpamil at the same time is not a wise idea. It did help me in the beginning. I do think that the kudzu I found over here is bit different than the one you have over there, though. The pack I had said that I can take only 2 tablets/day and it didn't mention how many grams there are.

Best wishes,
Sandie

Sandie

Actually, we really don't know anything for sure about kudzu. Since kudzu has calcium channel blocking properties (like verapamil) one should watch their BP if they choose to use both. If they experience very low BP or dizziness, they should either adjust dosages or discontinue. If you want to give it another shot, PM me and we'll talk. :)
