How to use the Imitrex tip on YouTube
Aug 3^rd, 2010 at 10:49am

I just found this video browsing around on YouTube.
It's exactly how I use the "Imitrex tip" on the left column of the screen. My only difference is that I inject in my arm so I don't have to pull my pants down, LOL!
Since I use oxygen, I no longer use Imitrex, but for those that do, this video will help you save money & those nasty rebounds headaches. Remember, most only need 2mg worth of sumatriptan to abort clusters.

When the PAIN starts, I FIGHT back!

Rivea Corymbosa seeds were my KO punch, now D3 is the front runner!

Just an FYI: I use the vials with a 31 gauge 8mm needle.
So, so much nicer than that auto injector nail!

Summer time, it's the leg if in shorts or the arm, calf works
too, in a pinch. I can get 3 - 4 doses from a single vial.

Also, any of you full dose auto injectors check for air. I
found air in most, that's what seemed to leave colorful
marks on me.

Peace,
Bo

Only ones Joe has ever gotten are 6mg so maybe this is a new option?

There is no need for the full 6mg when most of us abort in 2mg. That last injection, you can just use the injector as the person in the video stats.

I have used them way after exp. date. If out of work or low on money this can help. bridgestoaccess.com

Thanks for the tip. I have been headache free for about a year and a half (first time that has happened) and I have just started a new cycle. So of course I can't get my imitrex until I see the doctor (appointment had to be rescheduled). So now if he doesn't give me a refill to get over the the hump I can make these shots last.
