More about me (my health interests and reasons for joining WEGO Health)
Lifelong migraine patient, diagnosed with thrombosed cerebral aneurysm 2004, 3 'reactions' to meds for migraines-wrongly blamed on imitrex in 1991.
Now I know better, as this 'reaction' happened during an arteriogram after being given toradol and compazine.
The reaction was uncontrollable muscle spasms! Suffered from chronic right leg spasms fo 2+ years.

Now, my biggest issue is convincing ER physicians that I CANNOT have compazine, and that I am not a 'seeker'. No reaction to reglan or zofran-yet.
