This is a puke sandwich of hoagie proportions. 3:30 wake up call. No sleep. Sleep is for other people. No trex, some bureaucrat with a deep love for his boss has placed a restriction on it. I love that dude let me tell ya. Sore throat from suckin on the 02. Snot flingin headbanger.  :o Just as well get up. I got to enjoy a half sleep of nightmares for 45 minutes. All rested up. Ready for the day.  ;DPut on some coffee, pace some more. :) Just keep swimmin just keep swimmin. Tougher than an pile of hobo dung. 02 and coffee for breakfast. Nice to get that out of me. Need to go fishin I guess.  [smiley=beer.gif]Headbangers rule 8-)

Hey BlueB,

Oh jeez that's tremendously fusterclucked what you (and Brew!) are going through right now.  :'(

Hey ya remember when Lobster posted about his "imitrex math" on CH.com where he figures out how to rig up imitrex injections in a "being bad with math can kill you" sort of way that nonetheless brings his cost down to $.50 per abort ?

This is not recommended considering how dangerous an error could be, but for the record, here are a couple of those posts:

And some details I had copied down at the time that I'm not finding online anymore:

A bottle of Suminat Nasal is 10x 20mg doses.  200mg in 1ml of fluid total.

In reality it has more like 1.3 or 1.4ml, which is free extra.   

So first I put all 1ml (or 1.4ml) of Suminat into a 10ml syringe.  That is basically my holding tank.

When I mix up a batch I use .2ml of Suminat with 3.13ml of saline.  That yields 3.33ml of solution, which is equivalent to 6.6 .5ml vials of Imitrex.  I mix this up also in a 10ml syringe.  That gives you the same ratio as a vial.

I load my needles directly from the syringe, typically 4 or 5 at a time.

The 10ml syringes I use to hold the solution have the lockable cap.  I try to squeeze out all the air to keep oxygen damage to a minimum.

So.... out of 1 bottle of Suminat Nasal I get 5-7 batches, which each yield 6.66 vials.  That is 33 to 46 vials.

My Suminat comes from InhousePharmacy.biz.  5 bottles for $177 shipped.  So for $177 I am getting 2000+mg of sumatriptan,  the equivalent of 166-233 vials.   

For my Saline I use 'Simply Saline', which is a nasal spray that is 100% saline.  I use the 1% variety, not the 3%.

Kinda surprised more people are not saying 'damn!' about this experiment.  I am about 120 doses of Imitrex into this episode.  For me that is around 60 vials.  I would be out around $5000 if I were doing Imitrex.

Fishing is Goooood! 8-)

Yeah, O2 doesn't get all of them. Having just popped out of HELL myself after months that I refuse to count now, I got your number on that one. Sorta 15 minutes sleep, O2, O2, O2, Coffee, O2, O2 and nap in the 'Barca' lounger for an hour and you are READY FOR THE DAY! :D  And we all look so purty with our 'beauty nap' for the day. :o

Dragon loves 'prone' position, doesn't he? Does his best work there. Bucking Feast as the saying goes. >:(

BB,

The cat really should stay, Cheshire (SP?) type from Thru the Looking Glass. Highly entertaining. :D ;D

Wonder where Brew is now?????? 8-) 8-) Getting better I hope! ::)

Perhaps you sent the cat to keep him company tonight? [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif] That one has no definition, but the colors surely do fit.
