Well excuse the heck out of me . The point I was trying to make is that because of certain conditions , especially heart conditions ergot meds and triptans are not and option. I have marfan's syndrome and I can not take those medications because of my heart. I had tried to post something earlier more detailed but my connection failed and all the info I wrote got erased. So I just got frustrated and decided to just put in short posts. Do you have a problem with the fact that I mentioned I am in med school? I did not mean anything by it. and yes it does not mean that I know everything. I have seen Doc's make far worse mistakes!
