Funny... I was going through US customs once on a trip to LA and the guy there was about to disallow me from entering the country because he thought that I was going to LA to stay.
As he was going through my bags and giving me a really hard time, he found my Imitrex. He asked me what it was and I told him that it was for migraine headaches (I don't even try to explain to anybody anymore what a CH is).
Anyway, he told me that his wife suffered from severe migraine headaches. I gave him the little pamphlet that comes with every box of Imitrex and urged him to get his wife to a doctor for a prescription. He thanked me, zipped my bag shut and said: "You help me, I help you," and let me through.
I got to LA and became an illegal immigrant!! (just kidding)
