So, after Monday being the WORST day of my life, thanks to the DEVIL (aka CH), I've had some relief...

Monday I had 3 hits, I don't get 3 hits usually, so I took a treximet the first hit so I could go back to sleep, the second hit I used up all my O2, and the 3rd hit I was without any method of relief except my icepack and dark room... 4 freaking hours of intolerable pain, and after a trip to the ER, 2 percogesic, 2 loratabs, and another treximet, (i caved, i couldn't bear the pain anymore) i finally passed out for a good 11 hours... lol

Yesterday (Tuesday) i had my neuro appointment, got some prednisone, 4mg imitrex injections, and an O2 script (YAYAYAYAY!)

The funny thing is that i haven't had to use it... yet *knocks on wood*

BUT, I am having some killer shadows. Yesterday I was pretty pain free, maybe a K1-K2 60% of the day, (thats PF to me), but today has been worse. I'd say a K3-K4 all day, since I woke up. I can handle it but it just really sucks.

Suggestions? I thought about taking a 1/2 of an imitrex pill, or can I suck on some O2? but if I use the O2, will it come back in 20 minutes? What about some ibprophen? I don't want any rebound headaches, but according to my neuro rebound headaches only come after 3 months of overusing a medicine.

I even drank 2 redbulls within an hour, a little relief but it's back... and it hurts to the point that I want to close my eye to block the light and be left alone, but definitely not a CH.

Any help asap would be greatly appreciated.

and just in case your wondering, i'm taking 480mg of verapamil & 500mg of magnesium, and today i started my 80mg of prednisone.
