Almost had him stop. Before she even left the store started developing headache and a little nausea. When got into car was not feeling well and was confused as to how to get home (less than 2 miles). When got home went straight to bed because felt weak and had headache. Headache worsened during the night (took Ibuprofen 800 mg). Had full blown migraine by 14th and stayed in bed all day. Took 2 doses of Rizatriptan on 14th and 1 dose this a.m. (15th). Finally feeling better, though still a little nauseous. Interestingly, arm not really ever sore, except if the patient pushed on area. Would not really even say had "sore arm" - but the insertion of the medication was excruciating.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
