Q: Intravenous propofol; how long will the effect last?

From march this year I have suffered from a regular migraine which eventually became daily and chronic. Unfortunately I get side effects from all the regular preventive agents (valproate,candersartan,propranolol,amitryptilyne and topiramate). I have not been able to work as a doctor since june and now you can imagine my desperation.  Today I found at PubMed dr Krusz summary of intravenous propofol therapy published in Headache in 2000.I cried with releif; this gives me new hope. Now my job is to convince my Norwegian collegues to give me this treatmentand I hope you can help me with refferrals. What are the long term-results of this treatment?

Yours sincerely
