Ethnicity in taking medication πŸ’Š

So in my layman's terms of trying to work out of taking a medication i came across a conversation with the doctor over the phone today, and it was only by sheer chance, I've been suffering with truly awful cluster headaches since June, and I have been getting roughly 2 headaches a day, but recently they have increased to 4 or more.So I spoke to the headache clinic a couple of weeks ago and they mentioned that there's a 3mg injection, now bare with me, my logic was that when I mentioned to the headache clinic I was getting 4 headaches a day I could inject myself upto 4 times a day, but at the moment I have 6mg injections which means I can only injection myself twice a day, hence the word ethnicity, so I'm struggling with headaches, but still using the 6mg injections, and my doctor said that's where the word comes from, obviously it's the same amount of fluid I'm injecting myself with 12mg if I inject myself, in total over 24 hour's I'm a bit miffed or baffled, and to cap it all I'm having to reduce my topiramate and try a different medication as this one is no longer working after several years, cluster headaches are absolutely brutal, and have this man crying in pain 😒

Yes commonly known as " suicide " headaches 😩 the pains are so intense I can't tell how bad they are, I can't start my new tablets yet until I've reduced my other tablets until my other ones are at a lower dose, and the doctors are waiting confirmation from the neurologist at the hospital to say when I can start the tablets so it's a waiting game, worse than any hangover 🀣

I've read about these types of headaches. The name says it all.

I suffer migraines but these sound so much worse.

I hope things get straightened out soon
