Hello to everyone here: I have one question wich I hope those of you living in the US can help me out with: I was episodic (11 years ago first signs of CH,
then 7 years ago for one and a half month and then since May 98 I had a bout every 2 or 3 months) and now
diagnosted chronic but I've been ok for last 3 months.
I have to travel to Miami in May. I'm scared that flying or jet-lag may help CH to come back, as it already happened one time.
I'd like to bring along prescriptions (just in case) for Imitrex injections. Does anybody knows if a prescription from an Italian neurologist (written in English) will be accepted by local drug-store or pharmacy without problems? Or do I have to get a prescription from a local MD or neurologist?
I do not want to be stuck in Miami with headaches and
no Imitrex. I could bring some from here but why spending a fortune to cover 10 days, if CH will not then come?
Anybody who can give me some infos will be greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a fine day. Thanks a lot
Cesare
