I have had these for 10 years now and it is always
the same for me. I start off taking the pain
pretty well. After 1 month of the CH's, I turn
into a real wimp too. I would take anything to
get rid of the pain as fast as possible. I have
not tried the Imitrex yet, I can not take it
with sansert. I have add at least 2 CH's everyday
this week and had 3 this morning. So I am going
back to the doctor today and switch drugs.
Maybe I will be able to try out the Imetrix, we
will see.
Anyway, under enough pain we are all wimps.
It is like torture, they never talk at first
but in the end they always spill the beans.
Oh yeah, oxygen with a cold pack over my nose
and eyes really helped me this time. I use
to try just oxygen and it never worked for me
alone. Be sure to crank you oxygen up to the
max. My tank only goes to 8l/m, so I just max
it out. I used up half a tank in just 1 day
yesterday and this morning.
Good luck and I hope you have a pain free day.
