...of lidocaine, 4% solution, to ship to anyone who finds it effective. I read about it a few years ago and asked my doc for a prescription. The pharmacist had to special order and then advised me to empty a saline solution spray bottle and fill it with the lidocaine. I tried spraying it into my right nostril and all it did was numb the sinus on that side. It did not abort the attack. It did confirm my belief that no narcotic, including Stadol, aborts a CH attack. You may not give a shit, but the pain is still there.
