Rick--
Prednisone is the only preventive that's ever
worked for me. My dosage is as follows (all
tables are 20 mg each):
5 tablets for 2 days
4 tablets for 2 days
3 for 2 days
2 for 2 days
1 for 2 days
0 for 1 day
1 for 1 day
0 for 1 day
1 for 1 day
Then I start the taper once again. These two tapers
take me through my 1 month episode (I don't
start the Prednisone till the headaches move
from mild to moderate).
I highly recommend taking the Prednisone. As with
any drug, be aware of the possible side effects.
I have not had any major problem with side effects
(minor problems: I get a bit jittery and have
some insomnia; I had a little muscle weakness in
my legs this time).
Best of luck
Jackie
