My first CH meds progress

Well after being started on pred/verap I have had 5 days without any acute headaches. Seems like I had some dull pain that I wouldn't have treated with tylenol even before I heard of CH. I'm not sure what to think at this point....still haven't heard about the CT scan

Hi Soni,
It sounds like the Prednisone is doing it's job for you.
When you're tapered off, hopefully the Verapamil will be doing it's work and all you'll experience for a couple of days is an increase in the shadow pain. Hopefully, you're up to 360 or 480mg/day now.
If you have a breakthrough attack when the Prednisone is done, use your Trex or Oxygen and give it a few days. On occasion, some people need a second Prednisone taper. I urge you not to go beyond that. Pred's long term side effects can be pretty nasty.
Good luck with you CAT scan results. Chances are, it will be perfectly normal.
Hugs,
Kris
