Title: Clusters Verus CPH
Post by Wolfmom on Apr 28^th, 2003, 4:20pm

I took some of your suggestions and saw my Doctor..to see if I was having CPH instead of Clusters..since they were hitting me 15 times a day. Well..he didn't have to much to say but he did start me on Indocin..75mg 2Xa day..this was Friday....the attacks are between 5 and 10 a day now..but still no relief from the pain. Does it appear to you that I may have CPH..if so..when may the meds kick in..if not..any other ideas?

I know I sound like a baby and I'm sorry..but it is so damn hard.

Indocin worked for me for about 5 months. I found that it kicked in at day 2. You should know sooner rather than latter if it is working for you. Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.

Hi Wolfmom,

With the number of your attacks a day, it sure sounds like CPH. Indocin will knock it out if it is CPH. It may take a week (or longer) to kick in, but I'd certainly keep taking it.

Maybe you could up your dosage if it doesn't work in the next couple of days... wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor!

Just my opinion,
