Title: Library?????
Post by gMike on May 18^th, 2005, 11:01pm

Last night I found a rather complete Library of articles on CH and treatments. I swear I was on this site but I can't find it again. Stupidly, I didn't bookmark it last night.

It had an excellent article by a Dr Goadly (sp?) and numerous other entries. I'd love to find it again but I've been thru this site forward and backward and can't find it! >:(

Any help greatly appreciated!

I don't know what library of articles you're referring to, but I think this article is the best I've ever seen on CH:

http://www.brightok.net/~mnjday/chtherapy.pdf

The only two things I disagree with in that article are:

a) His "Expert Opinion" section says "melatonin should be the first agent tried... If melatonin fails then verapamil should be instituted..." There's no reason to wait for melatonin to fail before starting verap. They should be started together ASAP.

b) His O2 section says 8-10 lpm. 10-12 lpm is a lot more effective.

Sean,

This is the OUCH Library:

http://www.clusterheadaches.org/library/index.htm

Another excellent resource is:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed
Just type cluster headaches in the search box and you'll have technical reading for months!

Thanks to all of you. The OUCH Library was where I was! I have all the sites safely bookmarked unless this POS HP laptop crashes again!!

My reading continues! I added Melatonin based on what I read here and while it's too early to generalize, I'm hopeful that it's gonna help!
