Hi Shoog, Sorry I don't have much time for elaboration right now, I'll try to get to the point with my thoughts: Triptan spray: If you're tasting it you're probably "sniffing" while using it, a mistake most of us make unless instructed otherwise. I recommend researching the instructions for it. Last time I checked, it's just supposed to go up into your shnoz, with no sniffing, not used like an actual inhaler. Injections are widely known to work quicker, plus there's the major advantage of being able to use partial (but still very effective) doses, and stretch your supply / reduce your side effect risk dramatically 100% O2, as you'll be instructed on the use of here, aborts attacks well without side effect risk or blocking other treatments. Verapamil can work for some. More effective is "busting". It will sound crazy at first (well it did to me), but see the Harvard and (currently underway) Yale studies, etc., plus tremendous amounts of CH'ers who've found long lasting prevention relief with it, sometimes from a single dose, and you'll start seeing what a breakthrough it can be. There's a "D3 regimen" that some find relief from, and it shouldn't interfere with anything else you're throwing at the CH. You were discriminated against due to your gender, denied proper care, and left in unspeakable pain. That's horrible. Not that it was done intentionally, it was due to an old, stubbornly lingering misconception, but that kinda %&^$ has really gotta stop! -Jeebs (not female, but still outraged. My dear mama taught me about gender discrimination )

I agree with CHfather, the tablets don't help me quick enough at all. ive only just been prescribed some nasal sprays and used the first one last night and it did help in about half hour but it don't taste great. I'm going to ask about injections and I think you might find a quicker relief from either of them aswell. def find out about the oxygen, I'm going to do the same! I'm in the uk so I'm not sure how your insurance and stuff works. I know how you feel tho, ive been suffering and feeling so depressed...I bet most of the people on here have been through that but I just joined and its nice to have support from people who know exactly what its like. its awful but you can push through like all the other times :) I keep thinking about when they are gone and how I'm going to celebrate! keep strong!

Thanks both. Ah Pebbles , you got me wrong. I didnt mean such sites promoting snake oil or whatever, I really just meant regular boards on the same topic like this one here. Someone around the globe might have recently discovered something similar like MMs , D3 or whatever. Yes, this will make it onto here at some point if valid but it may take awhile. I am not interested in taking risks either and research is key as you say. Still and at least for additional theoretical input it may be there is new stuff around we haven't heard of (yet) due to a language barrier. As you say it is / will be bits and pieces but why not. Up to everyone themselves to consider if BS or an actual piece of the puzzle
