Imitrex and shadows
Jan 11th, 2013 at 8:24am
 
Hello y'all Smiley

I went back to my neuro yesterday, who gave me some new medecine (Laromyl, I don't think you guys use the same name in the US) and doubled my isoptine dose. She said the Laromyl was supposed to help with the CONSTANT pain my face is in (my teeth, eyes, ears and cheek always hurt).

I'm not even sure these can be called shadows anymore, they can get pretty painful (I'd say... Kip 4). I'm even wondering if these are not some "baby" clusters, that the Verapamil has toned down.

So, the question is, should I use Imitrex shots on these? I've been wanting to do so, because 1) they get hard to deal with 2) if the Imitrex does work, then I guess they are clusters, and not something else altogether.

But as I'm new with all this cluster stuff.. I don't want to mess up.

Bye!

We call that Amitriptyline here Wink

If it works, I'd say go for it. My preferred non-oxygen abortative is DHE and I've used it to sleep through shadows/headaches.
