Hi Glenda,
I experienced your weekend in hell two weeks ago. One attack after another starting Friday night and ending late Sunday. I was so exhausted that my CH turned to a regular migraine which I usually never get. I tried Imitrex injection for the first time and I loved it. 5 minutes later I was feeling so much better. Problem was I only had two shots and had to go back to the Doc to renew my prescription. One week later, I am going on my 5th consecutive pain-free day. I don't know if it is the Verapamil I started taking two weeks ago or if I was ending my cycle anyway, but I don't care. I feel so much better! I will wait a few more days before shouting victory though, I would not want to wake up the beast...
So my message to you is "Hang in there". Focus on the fact that it will go away (it always does). I wish you the best.
