My cycles usually last between 3 and 4 months and are about 2 years apart. My last cycle was almost a year long. I haven't figured out why the last one was so long, just glad it's over.
I use Imitrex every day during a cycle usually. You're only supposed to use 2 shots a day so I cut them in half and it would cover most of the days. I did have a couple particularly bad days and I know I used 4 full shots one day. I called my doctor and asked him about that. He said just to make sure there had been at least an hour between shots. That's been the only time I have used that many, and it's not recommended. I use Oxygen also and sometimes if I catch it early enough that will get rid of one. I haven't noticed any side effects from the Imitrex for myself. I'm 44, female and my BP is pretty low. It doesn't work for some people but for me it's been a godsend.
