However, she decided not to give her the treatment because a previous patient with both CRPS and migraines had a strong reaction to the DHE -it caused significant and lasting pain at the site of the IV for the infusion. The doctors believed that the irritation that DHE causes and most people at the infusion site was much more significant in this prior patient because of her CRPS. Although this prior patient had a good migraine relief and the pain from the infusion has slowly going down over a period of months, The doctor has decided she's not willing to risk of flare in my daughter. So I have two questions:

1) Did your daughter have any significant pain at the infusion site from the DHE treatments? Or any other significant side effects that might have been unusual and attributable to her CRPS?
2) Did she receive any benefit from the DHE treatments? If so, were they just not significant enough, or not long-lasting enough?

Thanks,
Lori
