Title: HCG HORMONE INJECTIONS
Post by Jv on Apr 14^th, 2010 at 8:15am

I HAVE BEEN CLUSTER FREE FOR THREE YEARS- THE LAST CYCLE WAS TREATED USING CORTISONE BLOCK AND NEURONTIN- I NORMALLY GET THE CLUSTERS IN A TWO YEAR CYCLE AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME DURING THE AUTUMN MONTHS- I HAVE BEEN ON HCG FOR THREE WEEKS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE START OF THE CLUSTERS-A WEEK AGO- CAN THE TRIGGER BE THE HCG OR IS IT JUST THT FACT THAT THIS IS NOW THE CLUSTER CYCLE STARTING- SHOULD I STOP TAKING THE HCG?

Only you and your doctor can answer that one.

You have been using hcg to prevent a cycle from starting? That's what I'm reading.

If so, that doesn't make sense. It would be easier to start one of the preventive, Verapamil, etc. to block the cycle.

See the PDF file, below.
