Sorry - me again. I've found something interesting - when I was a test patient for Imitrex, they gave us supporting docs from the test, called "Imitrex - from Molecule to Man". Whilst it is 100 pages of complicated medical language and diagrams, it was presented at the 8th Migraine Trust International Symposium. This was attended by neurologist from around the world.The last page of this doc says:"Imitrex has been shown to be an effective treatment for migraine and cluster headaches. It has an accepable safety profile, and compares favourably with existing treatments. Physicians can feel secure in prescribing Imitrex, in allowing self-administration by patients, and in advising them of the risk of side effects"
If ANY of you would like a copy of this, just for interest, to dump on your Doctors desk, or to beat the ER Dr. around the head with, let me know....I'd be happy to copy it and send it of to you...Judi
