DJ,
Thanks for the info. I have only one caution. I did what you said, to set up one of my shots for the next time I get a CH. But instead of using a Qtip, I took a plunger from one of my used Imitrex syringes. I thought I would put the plunger in just as far as it would go before touching the receiving plunger, then I would be ready for the next shot. One thing I didn't count on was the air pressure building up between the two plungers. Before I got even close to the receiving plunger, I had imitrex shooting out the end of the needle onto the dresser. I guess I should have stayed with your Qtip procedure. I mention this only so that someone else doesn't make the same mistake. I still have enough for one shot. I might even try to half that amount to see if I can get two shots still. Live and learn.
