I HAVE JUST BEEN RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH CH AFTER 3 WEEKS OF HELL. I SEE A NEURO WHO DIAGNOSED IT AND IMMEDIATLY STARTED ME ON IMITRIX INHALENT AND VERAPAMIL.
THE IMITRIX HELPED ME SLEEP THROUGH THE FIRST NITE BUT I'VE SUFFERED GREATLY SINCE. I RAN OUT OF SPRAY AND HAD TO BEG FOR MORE AND GOT IT FROM THEM. I ALSO USE LIDOCAINE DILUTED WITH WATER,VALIUM,VICADEN AND IBUPROFEN WHEN I CAN'T HAVE THE IMITRIX AFTER THE 2 DOSES. OF COURSE THESE ARE FOR THE TIMES I'M A LVEL 10!
THE NEXT TIME I RUN OUT OF THE IMITRIX SPRAY I WILL BE AT THE ER SEEKING OXYGEN BECAUSE THAT i'VE NEVER TRIED YET.i WOULD ADVISE A GOOD NEUROLOGIST FOR YOUR CH AND NOT ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A ON CALL NEURO AT ALL TIMES. DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU ABOUT IT ,YOU FORSCE THEM TO HELP YOU. THE CHAT ROOMS AND SUPPORT HERE ARE ALSO THE BEST THING I COULD EVER RECOMMEND!
GOOD LUCK
