Title: What is going on this time
Post by Tom_Thumb on Jan 20^th, 2005, 4:58pm

Hello everyone. I am the new guy on the block.On monday1/17/05 I CAME TO THIS SIGHT because i really liked what I was reading about all of you. I had just got home from the doc. Now for that I have had clusters since I was 28 and I am now 42. I HAVE NEVER killed a cycle in in a week . I had my first hit on 1/08/05 and then every night two or three times at k8 to k10 on 1/16/05 I EVEN PASSED OUT FROM PAIN. I went to the doctor on 1/17/05 and got my meds Verapamil / 120mg Neurontin /300mg fioricet I take them once a day around noon . But since I started day 1 with the meds I have had on hits .NOT ONE I have sleep all night .What is going on not to complain but do you all think there gone .Or is the beast in hiding ??

Hi, there's no way to know, you should wait and see what happens, but I would consider a 2 (two) weeks pain-free period first, and then I would be ready to celebrate.

A party wuold be good but I still would be scared from beer . I most of the time wait 4 to 6 months before I HAVE A BEER OR 6

If it were me...I'd stay on the meds for 2 weeks after my last hit. I would not have a drink even if there was only a million to one chance of triggering.
