First off I have a low tolerance for pain. A CH starts to come and I get very scared. I have a very hard time dealing with the pain of a non-medicated CH. I have been getting up to 4 in a day lately, and have been using 4 imitrex tablets/injections in 24 hours. Sometimes I use a zomig instead. Anyway, I have been operating in a fog for several weeks now; I have a terrible time when I have to think. Sometimes I just stare while I'm telling myself to think. Midrin doesn't do this too me. I think the imitrex half-life is short so I'm not sure why the effect lasts so long. I know I'm taking way more imitrex than I'm suppose to take but I can't deal with the pain, I just don't give a $hit now, all I care about is that the pain stays below a level I can deal with. And if the pain doesn't stay below that level, well ………………….
