I think we should send this Randall Evans guy a thank you - FINALLY someone has done their homework! That is one of the best articles I've seen and I was SO glad to hear the mention of the higher Verapamil doses. They even mention cluster eyes! "Ipsilateral tsosis" - to be exact. Doesn't it suck that we have to actually KNOW what those words mean?

The ONLY thing that disappointed me about this article was the mention of the gamma surgery. I hate that there are folks having this done on one side only to have the cycle reappear on the other side, later. Oh well - at least we're getting the word out there about the rest of it.

Thanks for showing us this, Lee. Good research!

Thanks Lee!!! I was searching webmd this morning and the only article I could find was one published in 2001 and was backed by the cleveland clinic.

...I particularly liked this:

Quote:

Treatment
For acute attacks of cluster headache, inhalation of 100% oxygen at a rate of 7 to 10 L/min for 15 to 20 minutes with a loosely applied face mask is effective in about 70% of cases.

...like ya said Lee...fairly accurate.... and 70% effective... i like having 100% LESS side effects... ok, me snag got dry once... sue me...

thanks,bro..... N4H
