Title: Doing OK now
Post by tpitts77 on Aug 4^th, 2004, 3:18pm

Hi All! My name is Tony Just came across the site. Very Nice! I've had CHs for over 8 years now. It's nice to see that other people are going through some of the same experiences as me (although they suck). I was a chronic sufferer (year long, 1 to 7 CH daily), but now I have them pretty much under control. I found a Great doctor at Hershey Medical Center, who got me on the correct meds at the correct doses. All of my experiences with regular neurologist were nightmarish. Good luck to all. Hope to talk to some of you guys soon!

High doses of Verapamil (720 mg +) and Indocin (125 mg +) being used for preventative. Imitrex injections and prednisone are my saving grace during a cluster.
