Gonna take a breath and try again.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I'm one who is convinced CH has destroyed my memory, my closest guess would be 20...plus or minus!...........What guinea pigs we feel like sometimes!

Isn't it just crazy that in the year 2007 so many people have tried all the different chemical bombs to stop this beast and most will only work somewhat and only for awhile. What pit of hell did this monster crawl out of?

OK,,,there are a couple that are counted as two, that are just different delivery systems (ie Imitrex nasal/Imitrex injections) only because they do have different efficacies.
Not counting all the different dosages.
Not counting anything OTC (like all the NSAIDs) except Melatonin.
Only counting things that were injested or injected, which leaves out chiropractic, acupuncture, (needles but no juice), biofeedback, etc., and were prescribed/used for clusters only.
Prescribed medications: 66
Herbal/Natural : 9
Total: 75

Do you mean all the way back to the beggining? Oh my gosh! 25 years. Should have bought stock in a pharmaceutical company. Okay-and this is an approximation-
28 prescription meds
15 OTC or herbals
8 non-traditional treatments: includes biofeedback, chiropractic, deep tissue massage, rolfing, iridology,
51!

Adding everthing up as best I can...
Prior to Dx:
All forms meds, treatments, therapy = 32 including the braces for what was thought to be TMJ causing these damn things, all scripts and OTC.
Post DX = 19 including supliments and my best weapon the Indolrings
Redbull would bring that up to 20 if that gets counted.

Holy smokes bbz! Thats like trying to remember the names of all the students back in my 9th grade english class.
If I guess, including misc. therapies I would say probably around 40 to 50 different meds and supplements (legal and otherwise) and another 10 or more therapies from chiro to tenz to acupuncture and more.
It allways amazes me when some obscure treatment pops up and I can say oh yeah I remember that one too.
incidentally only one treatment really helped.

Thanks for the responses. Right on Barry. Your a tough ole cuss aintcha? Good job.
I reviewed my list and added 2 more 33 is the total.
Not counting cocktails and different methods of ingestion.
I suspected the trend would be more than 20.
Not a simple HA to treat at all. And I would speculate the failure rate is also relative to the total.

I think.....8 but I'm not positive, not including o2 or red bulls. Right now though just 2 (well maybe 3 I'm on prednisone for other reason and we are trying to figure out how much its stopping the CH and its getting complicated) and o2, tripts, and red bulls on hand.
