Triptans can send you down the rabbit hole of hit after hit. For me using nasel sprays 10 mg Zomig works great to stop an attack but it will cause rebound hits. I found that the 2.5 mg ZMT work fairly well and unless I use them for more than 2 days I am good. It seems like the higher dose along with the faster absorption of the nasel sprays causes problems.

Well, that wasn't too fun. He had difficulty getting into the joints due to the underlying arthritis so I got extra needles and it took longer. I think all that added up to irritating things A LOT. After the systemic effect of the steroids wore off (about 4 days), then I had a severe nerve pain on the side/back of my neck that just wouldn't quit. I tried everything. Finally topical lidocaine (which usually doesn't do anything for any pain I have) worked well.They told me all of this is not unexpected.....thanks a lot. Anyway, about 10 days after the injections I had a couple days of CH. That was only 2 days but the migraine continues to be worse than before the injections. The nerve pain is much less now also. All-in-all, I won't be having any more needles in my neck anytime soon......
