Migraine
"Migraines have become my worst enemy over the past 4-5 years. Thank goodness for Imitrex. I started with the pills, then the nasal spray and have worked my way up to the shots (plus nausea medicines).  The pills had the least side effects.  The spray was vile tasting, but fast acting and I could take it while working.  When my headaches worsened, they added botox and upgraded me to the injected version. I needed something that acted FAST so I could stay in the classroom.  The down side to the injection is the head rush, change of hear rate, and the flushing feeling.  When I inject I have about 15-30 BAD minutes, then I kind of restabilize and about an hour later I usually feel better and capable of continuing to teach."
