After using every available over the counter remedy and a few prescribed ones (Lidocaine and Proctosedyl) the doctor has finally prescribed me 0.4% GTN (Rectogesic).
Now I would normally be fine with taking new medication even though the doctor has advised me about the possible side effects of headaches but after reading various websites i am as nervous as hell. So i would be very grateful if people could answer a few of my worries or give me their experiences of GTN:
1. How severe was your headache?
2. How long did your headache last (I am told up to 30 minutes)
3. Did you take anything for the headache?
4. How many days did you have the heacache for whilst taking GTN.
and finally
I am due to go on an eight hour flight next week and currently i can hardly sit down for more than 5 minutes at a time after a BM - would anybody have any advice?
Thanks in advance
