Danny,
always makes my day when you come a visiting.
We should get together and tell each other how fucked up the other is. Then we could just rag on the dumpwads that hang around here. It would be a real good time.
BTW - hub says hi.
take care bro

If It is Botox I tried that for my clusters and it only helped my migraines and not my clusters.

Jonny, don't ever post a smiley to me ever ever ever again. I'll puke. Boss, please talk to him
As for the rest of you, yeah, I'm like, ok, like
Not botox.
As far as I know the injection can only be given by a Neurosurgeon or someone specially trained or you could end up farting every time you blink. But I don't know very far.
Something to do with C7 in your spine.
Of six patients that they injected during an accute attack of cluster all six experienced immediate and total relief of that attack.
The sample was 11 though.
You need to read the article.
Homework questions are:
What is the symapthetic nerve?
How is it involved in cluster headaches?
Clue:
The answer to question 1 will be a fact of some sort or another
The answer to question 2 will be a theory of some sort or another. Go wild on this one, points awarded for creativity.
Charlie has promised to mark the papers because he knows I'll be too lenient
Are you guys part of the AHS? (American Headache Society) The journal comes with the membership.
Its actually the Februrary 2004 edition of HEADACHE (volume 44, number 2) page 183. Its titled "Clusterheadache and the Sympathetic Nerve".
Please don't make me type it out.
Please.
Its in F...ing latin.
I hate Latin, why don't they just talk english?
I don't know the answer to either of the questions by the way.
But if I was you I would.
Apparently Mr O'Conner is pregnant with Georgia's child. Man O Man! You guys are wild
I'll try and find a link...
Big Love

For what is worth (note the date, not so new...)
Quote:Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain
Volume 44 Issue 2 Page 183 - February 2004
doi:10.1111/j.1526-4610.2004.04038.x
Brief Communication
Cluster Headache and the Sympathetic Nerve
J. Albertyn, MB, ChB, MMed; R. Barry, MB, ChB, MMed; C. L. Odendaal, MB, ChB, MMed, GFN (SA)
Objective.To determine the effect of a sympathetic block at C7 on cluster headache.
Backround.Eleven patients presenting to a pain control unit with cluster headache were included in the study after giving informed consent.
Methods.In all patients, a mixture of 5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride and 1 cc of methylprednisolone acetate was injected onto the base of the C7 transverse process.
Results.The injection was applied during the acute phase of headache in 6 patients and all experienced immediate and complete relief. The other 5 patients received the injection between attacks. Of the 11 patients treated, 8 went into remission by aborting the cluster. In some patients, repeated injections were given before the cluster was aborted. Three patients did not respond to treatment. One patient with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania experienced pain relief of the acute attack after treatment, but the procedure did not abort the subsequent attacks. A surgical sympathectomy removing the stellate ganglion rendered him pain-free for 15 months after which he was lost to follow-up.
Conclusion.Blocking the sympathetic nerve aborts an acute attack of cluster headache and may play a major role in aborting the cluster. Although only one patient with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania responded to surgical sympathectomy, this procedure may be considered as an alternative if there is poor response to oral medication or a sympathetic block.
