If you read some of the messages from earlier today I asked about how to keep Imitrex needles clean if you try to only use half of the dose, saving the rest for later. Well you folks really came through.
I got up the courage and gave myself half an injection. This meant I had to give myself the shot without the injector thingy. May not sound like a lot to you but it was a big step for me.
Well...here are the results.... my CH was coming on fast but was not full blown. Took half the shot and had relief in about15 minutes which is frankly about twice the amount of time a full dose takes.
Now I can save a little cash and cause a little less shock to this poor body of mine.
Thank you all again. You all are a real help!!!!!
