Title: Histamine Falls Short - Updated
Post by unsolved1 on Oct 30^th, 2005, 10:11pm

Well ... Even though Histamine Desensitization has brought me months of pain free time, it doesn't work everytime. This last time I did it didn't work out all that well. After getting 1 hit a day since I got out of the hospital, today I was hit 4 times before noon. And yes, they were 'bad ones'! (4 Imitrex jabs) Even with the Imitrex, it's 15 - 20 minutes of pure hell each time. I ended up caving in and calling my neuro. I didn't want to go through another hit. So, he said to go to the ER for a shot of DHE and a shot of SoluMedrol. That's what I did. NO more headaches for a couple of days at least.

Damn, this is a never ending battle !

Thank God For Imitrex ! [smiley=headbanger.gif]

Never ending and unpredictable.

Sorry you had to switch to plan b. Hopefully one day soon you will be able to drop the UN from your name.

Hang in there, and hopefully you'll still get some kind of relief.

Be well,

Glad you got at least a couple of days. They can be priceless.

Hope the next round works better.

Well...the time is here again (already). I'm getting hit 6 times a day. This last time with the Histamine was a failure. I think I did it too fast so I'm going in to do it again slower this time.

Be gone for at least 11 days this time. (geez thats a long time!)

It's either this or another shot of DHE and SoluMedrol that will only last 2 or 3 days.

Did I mention that this SUCKS!

I'll see you all on the other side

UNsolved >:(
