ALKALOL a soothing topical Mucus Solvent and cleaner.
Alkalol should be used from one-half to full strenght-perferably warm.
Nose-Use in a douche cup(i use measuring plunger with tlb, and tsp on it.
1 tlb sp water to 1 tlb spoon solution
Put several drop's  in your nose and lean back letting the solution run back into the sinus's lean your head foward and let it run back out into the sink. I did this regiman several time during the day. The ingredence in this solution a not harmfull and it feels really good. Opens up your head. I have had clusters for several years or so. I also have MS and maybe that' is the reason for my Cluster HA. Or maybe it is sinus. I don't know. You can get this solution at your pharmacy(u have to ask for it). Its only about 3.00 buck or so. Heck we have tried everything else. Give it a try. Just thought I would share. Lots of love and happiness and God Bless.

Quote:Nasal irrigation can alter the environment of the nasal cavities and sinuses, making them more conducive to the growth of certain water-loving bacteria such as Pseudomonas. Also, irrigation should not be performed if you are suffering from acute sinusitis (an acute bacterial infection of the sinuses), since it could facilitate spread of the infection to the other sinuses, the eyes or throat. For these reasons, you should NOT irrigate your nose unless instructed to do so by your doctor.

Maybe if I irrigate and throw on a nice copper bracelet I can dispose of all that imitrex clogging up my med cabinet.

I had a sinus infection along with my last episode. Doc & I felt that the pressure from the sinus infection may have aggravated the severity of my CH episode.
Ended up irrigating with mild saline. Was shocked at how painful it was at first... an indication that I really did have a nasty infection. Took a fair amount of effort to let the sinus soak for a full minute... pain. Mean bloody clots broke out of my snout.
Did that a few times a day for a week. After two days it became a fairly pleasant experience, as Poke indicated. I did not realize the amount of pressure & buildup I had until the round of irrigation.
Enjoy,
Rock

I only said to try it not do it 24/7 q4hrs. 
I don't think I would do this with a bad sinus infection though. I think I would ok it with my ENT first. I just have a dry stopped up nose a lot. And its helped me to breath better. I am aware it is not for everyone. I only want to give someone an idea to try. Just wanted some dang relief. K.. 
Miles of smiles to everyone today!

I'm just cranky.
Truth be told this cycle is raising big hell with my sinuses not like ever before. When I'm not under attack I have a constant dull sinus headache.
Maybe I'll just try that stuff or something to irrigate the head plumbing.
