Triptans and skin sensitivity...

Interesting bit, however, it's only a Wiki, so I don't know how reliable it is:

A test measuring a person's skin sensitivity during a migraine may indicate whether the individual will respond to treatment with triptans.[6] Triptans are most effective in those with no skin sensitivity; with skin sensitivity, it is best to take triptans within twenty minutes of the headache's onset.

Any thoughts on that?? I've never heard of that before.
I do have extremely sensitive skin, though, and indeed I do respond well to triptans, generally.
Hmm...

I do get skin sensitivity. But I am getting some relief from Frova. The other trip tan I tried, Amerge, did nothing for me.
