I have had CH for over 30 yrs, and YES IMITREX injections are the only thing that work. I was glad to see some suffers knowing the cost and have tried to reduce the dosage with success.
My last bout with these CHs lasted almost 6 months, and my medical coverage has a limit on the amount of injectors I am covered for. (1 refill a day - 2 shots)....Also, there is an overall quantity limit.....and in my 6 mos. of CHs I had reached the limit, but luckily right at the end of their being there...
This stuff is expensive $143.00 for two shots but, when you are having a CH the money does not seem important - but member advice to cut the dosage may be an answer.....Thanks to all that are offering advice to our very special group of suffers.....
Now, as soon as anyone finds the cure, be sure and broadcast it......Enough is enough......
