Title: Nice to know I'm not alone
Post by Dave413 on Nov 12^th, 2007, 9:14pm

I just found this web site and it's been a big help already. I got my first C.H. when I was 16 and I'm now 56. I was diagnosed with sinus infection and treated for that for years while my real problem was C.H. I'm in the middle of a session now and hopefully they have peaked (4 headaches from bedtime till sunup.). It's reassuring to know that all the symptoms I have are not unique to me but are shared by other sufferers. Thanks for being there.

Hi Dave and Welcome to Clusterville

Sorry you're in cycle right now, but very glad you found us . . . great bunch of folks here and more CH info/caring/sharing than you'll find anywhere.

Let us know a little more about you and your CH history. Fer' instance, what do you use as abortive? Have you tried 02? Many here use 02 and then Imitrex for the hits the 02 doesn't reach.

Are you on any preventative meds?

Dealing with them as long as you have, I assume you have a CH knowledgeable doc?

Anytime you're up with the night hits (try Melatonin for those . . .. 6-9mg 45 min before bedtime . . . OTC supplement), remember there's almost always someone here.

Be Safe, PFDANs

Richard

Hey Dave,

As Richard said we would like to know a little more history about your meds. Prevents ,abortives ect.do you have a regular neurologist. By the way I like your name.
