Sumatriptan / Imitrex for GCA temple pain

Posted by michaelpmr @michaelpmr, Nov 18, 2022

As I don't find this topic mentioned - seems interesting data to contribute. I discovered Sumatriptan stops my early-stage Giant Cell Art. pain in my temples / around my eyes for several to 12ish hours.

Of course this is contrary to Sumatriptan literature "maximum 9 per month".

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.
