Gotta love OUCH Canada! They are really cool, on top of things, and their message board is fun too.

Good to hear about things in the pipeline. We have discussed CGRP here before. There are at least 2 currently available herbal products that have been shown to inhibit CGRP.

As of last fall or so, my neuro told me the CGRP drugs are 1-2 years out, but they still look promising, and I continue to keep my fingers crossed!

Jonathan, thanks for the links. I showed a neuro resident the link to your Kudzu info tonight, and she thought it was very interesting.

Thanks again!
