i have been prescribed verapamil and am managing quite well at the moment . only two or three pains per day. going to see a neurologist next wednesday and have found a site similar to this in the uk where i live. spoke with a man called andy at their help line who gave me more advice. starting to undrstand more. when i left the hospital i was given no information just sent on my way with two packs of tablets, nothing to say about triggers or what i can expect in the future.

now all i have to do is tackle my employer !!!!. miss wine and chocolate and a full nights sleep.

thanks to you all and for the information on this site , its a pity the medical professionals dont have a better understanding. things  looking more positive
