Title: MINOR VICTORY & MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!
Post by annar on Oct 26^th, 2007, 4:39pm

So I'm doing a victory dance today, literally!!! After calling my husbands neurologist every day for a week I finally got my husband an Rx for 10 O2 lpm, an Rx for a good re-breather mask with bag, an Rx for more imitrex injections, upped his dose of Topamax, a new steroid drug AND a note for his work so they will semi-understand the magnitude of what he suffers from and will aid him as much as possible should he get hit while at work. So I'm posting here, cause you are the only ones who know what kind of effort this takes.

My husband has suffered from clusters for over 20 years. He is episodic and this is only my second cycle with him. He's currently at about 5 CH's a day right now, but I know it may get worse. If it weren't for all of you I wouldn't even know what to ask the doctors for or how to help him wrestle with the demon. So many many many thanks to everyone that contributes to this amazing board. I'd be lost were it not for you. Not to mention the sanity that is offered by all of your stories. It's so wonderful to know we're not alone. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Wishing everyone PFDAN!
-Anna ;;D

P.S. My husband uses my login also, as setting up his own right now is just too much to handle, so if you see the tag "rrr" at the bottom, it's him and not me. :D

Dear Anna

You are most welcome and I am so glad to hear that things are getting better for both of you.

You and your husband will never be alone again. This is family and we mean it with all our hearts.

Whatever you need, just give a holler, there will be someone who can help.

In the mean time, continue to fight the good fight and ENJOY LIFE TO THE MAX !! :-*
