I finally got a prescription for imitrex injections. The Doc. made me try 50mg and 100mg pills first and they didn't seem to make a noticeable difference in the duration of the CH. I had an attack last night, two hours after i went to bed, and I shot myself and in about 5 mins the pain was about 95% gone , i was amazed.The ones that come at night are always worse on me, i think its because by the time i wake up and realize that im not dreaming about a headache; I'm having one , its so far into it nothing seems to help. Now the problem. I found something that can make this cycle a hell of alot easier but they only give two shots. Do these people understand that i some times get 4-8 attacks a day for 3-4 weeks during a cycle. How can i get the supply of shots i need?
