Shadows and Whistle in the Ear

Hello - I a an episodic cluster since the age of 19 (am 46 now). My eposides appear every 1-2 years and last between 2-4 months (have gotten longer since I found verapamil) , however these are trends and nothing that is consistant. I am really depressed currently since I am living far away (Fiji) and have long run out of Imitrex and have had a cluster episode lasting almost 5 moths, which is 2 months longer than any other one I have ever had in my life. I have in the past 4 days , after startign to reduce Verapamil to nil, gotten constant shadows with continuous pain (not the real pain, but continuouis as if a cluster will start) and continuous whistle inside my head. I don't know what to do and or if to start Verapamil again (have taken another pill of 120 mg since I am panicking). Anyone have had this before...? Is there anyone wuith advise or similar symptoms...?

Don't know about the whistling in the head, but have you got access to O2? That usually will help shadows. Coffee is also good to abort shadows.
check your e-mail...

I had this too coming off of verapamil. It would acutally feel weird when I would walk, and it felt like I had a sinus infection. The hardest thing to do was avoid popping an imitrex because then that would cause a real rebound instead of the shadow. It eventually went away and I was CH free.... for a while. Good luck!

Sorry to hear your pain. I'd try really strong coffee, that should help the shadows. Is there a doctor there that you can go to? Hope all goes well for ya! Oh, yea, I've heard the whistle too, kinda weird huh?

Could be that MJ is right on this.
I developed Tinnitus about four years ago and it could be as a result of the length of time I worked around compressed air driven machinery without ear protection.
I have noticed though that I can just about predict within a day or so that I will get hit as the ringing stops completely and returns when I get a PF period.
Coincidence maybe but with the logging of events no matter how trivial they seem usually gives some indicator if you are able to recognise them.
Tinnitus is annoying but I assure you that after a couple of years you become used to it.
Kind Regards
