Leslie, whatever works. After 25 bouts with these things over the last 30 years, I discovered 2 weeks ago that if I do squats/knee bends when I feel a HA starting, it kills the HA. Two weeks ago I was rolling around the bathroom floor, sick to my stomach with a 10. Over the last two weeks, when I feel one coming, I take a couple sprays of lidocaine nasal spray, 1 tab Ercaf and do squats until I can't do any more. The HA is gone in 3-5 minutes and doesn't get over 3 or 4 pain scale. This morning I got brave and didn't take the Ercaf when my 4 am HA hit. Just a couple sprays of lidocaine, did the squats and the HA was gone. No Ercaf hangover. I feel better today than I have in a month. It just ticks me off that I suffered through 30 years of this crap to find out something like exercise kills the HA's for me. Hope the Verapimil turns out to be the magic elixer for you.
