Well, I think all the people here know the trick with the pen
and taking out the syringe (sp?) to only inject part of the
dose in it, right?
I always got some problems with the injection since it is so hard
to get the right depth for the needle, when you try to
do the "manual" injection with shaking hands and the urge to bash
your head into the wall or any other available unmovable object.
So I wrote to Glaxo Wellcome here in germany via e-mail and asked if
it might be possible, that the pen could be made in a different way, so
that there is a chance to inject only part of the dose in it.
I got a reply very quickly and there was a hint in it, that there are
syringes available with Imigran, that are not used with the pen.
Has anyone experience with these devices?
Oh, and the friendly person from GW wrote, that she will pass the idea
to the department for developement, because even if cluster-sufferer are
only a small market (something I wrote in my e-mail), this doesn't matter
because they want to satisfy all of there customers.
Maybe we can try to contact them again with the idea, after OUCH is offically
alive :)
Have painfree nights and days,
Lars
