Hi,
After a painfree period lasting almost three week the beast broke through the Verapamil barier. Had Three attacks yesterday, three attacks today and the night is still to come. Sumatriptan is still working, but I don't want to go back using it 6,7,8 times a day. O2 also works but only for a very short time (15,20 min) and then they are back.
They never really where gone, by the way. There was no pain but I could feel the beast some way or another.
What to do? Do I raise the Verapamil? Double it, triple it? Other suggestions? I've been told that this happenes often when reaching the end of a cycle, could that be? My doc is as frustrated as I am, calling around for information and help, he's very cooperative but also clueless right now. He advised to double the verapamil, but also advised to seek more information about this.
This is very frustrating! Really could do with some help here.
Wishing you all painfree days. Rob.
