Hello all,
I posted awhile ago about being pain free for 48 hours and
that I thought my episodes were over. I was wrong, it was
just a break. Now they are back, every 12 hours on the nose.
Midnight and noon. I've started Imitrex injections at $50
a pop... I don't know what hurts more, my head or my wallet.
This is week 3 of my episode, hopefully it will be gone soon.
My mother had CH real bad every 2 years, lets hope mine are
less frequent. It's 1am right now and I am pain free, maybe the CH
forgot about me for the night?
Anyway, a few questions:
How effective is O2? When do you find it most useful(as in
when in the cycle of the headache do you take it and for
how long?)
Those of you who take the Imitrex shots, have you tried
the nasal suspension, and does it work?
Is anyone else sore, have loss of appetite, loss of sex drive, etc.
after a few attacks/during an episode?
That's all for now, gotta get some sleep, new job tomorrow.
Have a pain free night,
-Ben
