**Purpose:** Statis Migrainosis *(Started Nov 01, 2008)*
Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Nov 01, 2008	4 mg One time	Major	None	Always	Not at all

Date: Nov 01, 2008
Advice & Tips: I only was administered dilauded solution intravenously in the emergency room two times for extreme, continuous pain from a migraine. I had two doses of it my first visit the winter of 2008 and then the migraine retuned and I ended back in emergency about a week later for another two intravenous treatments. By them my PCP doc precribed Imitrex to take at the first sign of a headache which was the first sign this kind of migraine. It is also very important for me, as with all migraines I have had, to drop everything and put on eye shades and try and go to sleep. I never ever took dilauded outside of the hospital but I am extremely grateful to the staff there who recognized the kind of sustained pain I had been in for 21 days as my PcP did not give me this kind of care and attention.
