I would recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in CH.. you should be on more than just sumatriptan. You also should be able to inject it so that you wouldnt have to crush it. Please read around and see some of the medicines we use to prevent as well as abort. Something like verapamil or topamax. If you are in the begining of the cluster you can use a prednisone taper. o2 is also very very important. Best of luck to you :) were here if you need us!!!!!

Welcome, Hennie. You are clearly a veteran of the CH wars, but your weapons (tab form) are less than effective. So much is available now. Here's praying for a pain free day for you. blessings. lance

After all this time and experience... all you have is Sumatriptan in pill form???? I feel so bad for you. Apparently where you are living isn't very conductive to proper treatment;.
I hope you will sit down and really read around this site of the many different treatments that are out there. Quote:
You must be a LOT stronger than me. There is no way I can be at a KIP 8, like you said and be staring at a screen or doing anything but moaning feeling pretty damn sorry for myself and maybe banging my head into something hard. Glad you're here hennie. Keep reading around here and we'll all try to help however we can. |
