Title: some questions...
Post by mcksmly on Mar 30^th, 2006, 8:58am

I have posted a couple of times but not to this particular location...let me introduce...My husband, Burr, has has cluster type headaches for about 10 years. Last spring, they evolved into the full fledged, at least two - three per day, full fledged, really, really,really just want to jerk the eye out type of cluster headache. Last fall they were finally diagnosed as clusters. Burr was put on Depakote which seemed to get the headaches under control for several months. Three weeks ago they came back. I thank God every day that I found this web site. I actually printed out the medical information and took it to the neurologist. The neurologist used what I brought in to as a resource to determine what to prescribe. Burr is better now (down to one headache per day.) I still fell like I need to fine tune my knowledge though. In an effort to do this, I have post some questions elsewhere on this site. Again, thank you for being here.

Hello, I have not seen our other posts. In these boards, it's best to post the questions only once, hopefully in the right place. If they about CH itself, tehre is the ch specifc page, if it's about meds, there's the meds section. Intros are done here, and any off-topic stuff is on the General board.

Anyway, welcome adn thanks for being a supporter. We couldn't get thru this without people like you!

Welcome to our little corner of the web. I'm glad you are finding the information you need. This place was a life saver for me. Thanks for being there for your husband. Supporters like you ROCK!

Tell Burr to get in here and meet the family!
