The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi Great nations are made of great people like you.

Verapamil ER 120 mg works for me and has stopped the attacks but I have noticed in the past week or two that my feet and ankles swell up and look interesting. Soon as I elevate them they start to reduce. My Stanford Doc want me to double but I have decided to stay the course. As for the injection, I have only had to do it 3 times. First was interesting. Within the first 15 seconds I could feel it go up my neck into my head without problems and pain was gone. 2nd time I got a bit warm and 3rd time warm and nauseous. I have not had to do it for over a month since I do the Verapamil in the evening along with 3 mgs of prednisone and a shot of Fluticasone nasal spray. A breathrite on my nose at bed...And NO alcohol, ever!

My Stanford Nuero Doc took my name for a trial and I think I will go for it. I'm a newbee to this thing and just amazed at the pain that these CH bring on. If the trial works and it helps the rest of those who aren't fortunate enough to have health insurance that allows O2 and meds then it was worth it.
