Yup, diagnosed as CH.

Doc gave him Verapamil and Butalbitol (Which I think is Stadol)

To me his symptoms dont match (See!!, I tell everyone they dont have CH....LOL) I explained the kip scale and he never gets above a 7, no watery eye, no stuffed nostril.

Doc has him on 120 Verap a day....LOL.....I told him to double till he sees the doc. Hes got HB so it wont kill him.

Thank you for asking, Cathy sweetie

Jacks,

If I had to point to one person it would be me, 28 yrs of dealing and the ability to get unlimited 02 makes me think hes in good hands.......This is a good thing because he is twice the maniac I am even when not in pain.....LMAO ;D (And bigger)

Thanks Jacks

Jonny,
Butalbital: (5-allyl-5-isobutylbarbituric acid), is a short to intermediate-acting barbiturate.
butalbital*, USP ........................................................ 50 mg
*warning: May be habit-forming.
Used in fioricet/fiorinal did absolutely nodda for
my CH.
Sorry to hear your bro has met the beast,but
glad he has one of the best supporters anyone could
hope for.
Wishing PFDANs to ya both,
Billy
