Know what you mean about arguing with a Dr...some times
their God complex gets in the way.
Why don't you try the pills and record the effect?
Then go back to him and say, I'd like to compare the
effect of the injections..so make the next RX for them, OK?
That way you wouldn't be telling him that he's full of shit..which he is.
If you have some insurance restriction on your meds just ask the
pharmacy not to give you the entire RX...that way you
can go back to the Dr, after a week or so.
Some here use the pills as a night time preventative, some
dissolve in water and use that way.
My husband tried the pills and the nasal after they
came out. Quickly went back to injections.
