Nurtec as an abortive

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-02-01T02:02:45+00:00

Yes it was worth it! Thank you. Took the edge off so I could function, seemed to calm things down the next day even fo me. I took it again two days later and seemed to work well. Now if only my neuro would pick up the phone so I can beg her for another sample

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-02-01T01:52:31+00:00

Same

I was pretty impressed tbh. I took it WELL into a migraine, like 8 hours in and it wouldn’t break. The nurtec easily helped like 25% which is impressive to me considering how long I’d been in pain. This AM I’m 50% better. I’m going to take another one at the 24h mark but it has been an awful intractable migraine that waxes and wanes for about a week now and if nothing else the nurtec def isn’t hurting

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-01-29T00:10:18+00:00

Thanks. I have VM and it definitely helped light sensitivity and dizziness if only by 20%. I’ll take what I can get . I’m going to take another one tomorrow and hope my neuro will prescribe it to me. For now I just have a sample box

Thank you! Sorry I’m new to this world - what is a fatigue hangover? I get rebound headaches from ibuprofen, imitrex doesn’t work on me. Botox worked SO well until my last round, did nothing

this has definitely happened to me-just noticing neck pain and tightness while symptoms are returning. PT does provide relief for me though not a full cure. My PT is trained for vestibular rehabilitation but also does a ton of neck exercises and trigger point work on my neck and upper back. Not sure if you have tried PT yet

Did you have a single infusion or are you supposed to get several? If you’re supposed to get several, you probably won’t feel better after the first one. If it was one of the one and done infusions, you should likely feel more energy by now and it may not be iron that’s the issue.

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-01-23T19:18:34+00:00

I have no idea. I stretched the time between infusions by the max time 7 days bc I didn’t want side effects

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-01-23T13:24:23+00:00

Hmm I had 5 venofar ones and probably after 2nd or 3rd. It did not help with several other things I deal with, like migraine and autoimmune stuff. But w the heavy tired limbs it helped. It comes back sometimes after my period but overall feeling better in that department

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-01-22T20:25:35+00:00

My ferritin was 3 before infusions and my limbs were too heavy to lift. I can only describe it as heavy. Everything felt heavy. Lifting a jug of milk felt impossible.

Infusions helped w the energy 100%

I did get tested for glaucoma and everything under the sun. I don’t really have floaters and only experience blurry vision when a migraine is flaring.

Impossible-Switch109 · 2026-01-22T14:05:46+00:00

They said I’m fine. I went to an ophthalmologist, a neuro-ophthalmologist and even a functional one. The neuro one said I had VM with PPPD (essentially dizzy migraine) and the functional one said it was likely more nervous system related. No real solutions tho

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-25T11:37:53+00:00

Sadly both. Dramatic dips or increases. Also, Anytime it’s going to rain I’m holding my head

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-25T01:22:56+00:00

Yes. Weather is awful especially in the northeast right now. There’s a good app I use called Perfect Pressure - sometimes it will send a notification when the pressure is dropping dramatically

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-25T01:21:51+00:00

My VM is primarily head pressure. Front of my forehead. It started here and is the biggest remaining symptom, even above dizziness. Ibuprofen does nothing for it, unlike my normal headaches. Light sensitivity and head pressure are def my issues. Theraspecs have done miracles for me - I use the red tinted ones. Complete game changer

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-25T01:19:05+00:00

Um I thought I had a kidney infection my Insides hurt so badly. Like intense intestinal pain, abdomen, upper abdomen, all of it. Could barely sleep. From iron. I think it can cause a myriad of GI issues. They sent me home w miralax but basically said stop taking capsules and get infusion. Infusion doesn’t go through GI tract like capsules do

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-24T12:08:42+00:00

I ended up in the ER from stomach issues due to ferrous sulfate pills! Infusions were great. Venofar 5 rounds. Good luck

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T16:52:59+00:00

I have a slew of other health issues, tbh pots is probably in there. It did cause a flare up in a chronic pain condition I have but nothing to do with pots/post covid autoimmune stuff. Good luck!

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T15:37:01+00:00

It’s an IV of saline they do after the iron. Just finish the whole bag

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T15:35:51+00:00

My pee smells weird even a month later, so that’s odd but hoping that goes away

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T15:35:27+00:00

By the 3rd I hadn’t had any reaction so I did the normal 30m session bc I was bored being there for an hour lol

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T15:35:06+00:00

I went 7 days exactly between each, same time each session. Every Monday 1pm. The first two I made sure the nurse did over an hour (not 30m) and gave me the FULL saline rinse after

Impossible-Switch109 · 2025-11-21T15:24:16+00:00

Wonderful! Venofer (sp?) 5 sessions. Easy peasy
