Hi,
since my MD gave me Verapamil I am sleeping thru most of the nights.
It seems, that some attacks of the monster inside my head strike during daytime now.
Has anyone experienced this type of "timeshift" with Verapamil?
I told my MD about it and that I can't use the Tramadol abortive during daytime because I feel like I have
to throw up after using them.
He prescribed me Imigran (the same as Imitrex) as a pill, but it did nothing for me.
Since I read on this messageboard, that others had the same experience but had good results with the injector for
Imitrex I told my MD about it. He nodded and prescribed me an injector and two shots for it (to see the results first)
My MD told me, that he thinks that it is a great thing to find the information here on this site.
He said, I should come to him with every thing I read and we could talk about it. He was fair enough to tell me, that he hasn't much experience with clusters but he is willing to learn from me!
All informations and ideas I get here, I carry to my MD right away :)
But now for my question:
The package says, I can inject Imigran into the upper leg or upper arm.
Can anyone tell me, what the better place for the injection is?
Or doesn't it make a difference?
Thanks,
Lars
