I have started seeing an osteopath for my back pain and he seems optimistic that his treatment will eliminate my CHs. Nothing wrong with a little hope, I guess. Any experience to relate?
I take B & E vitamins which I believe may have made my clusters less frequest and severe the past few years, but now menopause seems to be having the opposite effect.
I really appreciate y'all because what you say is sincere and based on experience. In my 24 years of clusters, all kinds of people have made suggestions or claims. Few seem able to accept that cluster headaches can be managed but not prevented.

I've only seen this osteopath once, and after taking a history, he performed a type of adjustment that was not the dramatic maneuver chiropractors do. I'm seeing the guy for the second time tomorrow.

If he can do that then he has virtually cured the ailment.
Wouldn't count on it though.

Andrew Taylor Still, the father of osteopathy, states in his autobiography that he could "shake a child and stop scarlet fever, croup, diphtheria, and cure whooping cough in three days by a wring of its neck."

Clusters are too painful to delay a effective treatment by wasting time on dubious claims. Or take an Aspirin and lay down....

We've got a dodgy posterior hypothalmus in a part of the brain that's not easy to get to and rubbing a few bones hard is not going to help. Hope you get some PF times soon though.

Well....
You tell that doc that if he can cure your ch's with a few adjustments and can repeat that on other people, we will make him the richest, most famous, renowned doc in the whole world.

Thank you. That is exactly the point I was trying to make in another thread involving a Doctor who is persuing alternative treatments to those that are already proven effective.
If you have a proven treatment why do you NEED an alternative?

I'm seeing an osteopath for my back, not my CHs. The osteopath seemed to think my CHs might clear up in the course of treating my back. I'm with you all -- rots of ruck!
