I have not, but as someone who is most affected facially, by my EM-I will speak with my doctor about it, after reading up on it's side effects. Have you heard of any success with Maxalt?
I haven’t tried or even heard of it but I too have facial EM and I will definitely look into it. Thank you Mads for the tip!
Take care,
Alina
I have not heard of Maxalt being used for EM. However, I am taking Topamax (Topiramate), which is a migraine prophylactic, and it has been helping to take a bit of the pain out of the burn. It may be coincidental, but it seems I am having flare-ups less frequently. I was actually outside for 10 minutes in 75-80 degree weather before my feet were screaming for attention. My initial thought was that migraines and EM can be described very similarly. The major differences being location(s) and type of pain. I mention this, of course, because Maxalt is a migraine abortive. So there is a connection there. It may work for some. Definitely worth looking into.
