Hello all, I cannot begin to thank all of you for your postings. I learn something new each day and then take it to my doctor. I keep reading that some of you suffer a few hours. Mine last more than 12 hours. I was in the hospital and they wouldn't give me any medicine so that is why I had to wait so long to get relief. Now at home I take my Imitrex at the beginning of an attack. My jaw will hurt, my nerve endings feel like they are on fire. I honestly believe that I could walk through a brick wall while in an attack. I appreciate all the efforts of everyone and anxiously await for the day we can all be pain free. I am starting my straight 5th month of pain and I am getting pretty sick of it. Sorry to ramble for so long. Because of the constant pain, I don't get out of the house much and can't plan anything ahead because you don't know if you will be in pain or not. It gets pretty depressing. Does anyone else feel this way? Thanks for letting me post.
