Title: New to the forum,but not the pain
Post by BT on Nov 21^st, 2003, 1:35pm

Hello,I can not tell you how much help this forum has been.

My wife found it and turned me on to it.

I am having 4 to 5 full blown clusters a day top scale.This is the first time I have had so many in one day.I have tried all the meds but the only thing that seems to work is imitrex but it is killing my guts.

I may try the shrooms I have been reading about to break the cycle,but I worry what if it makes it worse(if it could be worse).

I am going nuts let me tell ya!

Peace BT

Try melatonin and magnesium - it's cheap and worth the try. Welcome aboard there a lots of good people here that are willing to help in any way they can. Read as much as you can - the wealth of information here is phenominal. :)

Welcome aboard.To bad you had to find us though.I'm assuming that your using Imitrex in the pill form.I use the nasal spray and it works and doesn't upset my stomach.Hope this helps.

Glad you found this place but sorry you need to be here. Check out the oxygen info on the left. Read and print and get a doctor who treats Clusters (you must ask questions when setting appt) or as long as you GP (if this is all you have at the moment) is willing to prescribe o2, it's worth a try. It works for many here. You need to use it right though, so read up on the link to the left. Hope you feel better soon.
