I never had alot of success with the inhalers. They never completely aborted the ch. A couple reasons.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.) I would either breath in too hard or not hard enough. I know the instructions say breathe normal, But what the heck is normal when your being tortured with a branding iron in your eyeball socket?````````````````````````````
2.) The absorbtion rate of peoples nasal passages vary. There are a couple of factors here. What if you've got the crusty boogies in your nose? Imitrex can't get past that. Or what if you burnt your nasal passages out with nose candy back in the days of substance abuse?
I always misfired the sprayer and the medicine would run down my lip, and there I would be, licking the snot laced sumitriptan like a crazed gerbil giving himself a bath.
No give me the injection or give me death. After all "it's just a little pin prick...."
