Hello!

My husband has Ch and my mum's been doing some research and has come across this page;

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or

at the bottom it says;

The neurologist may keep the sufferer deeply asleep for up to three days. But it works; once the cluster headache cycle is broken, the patient finds relief...until the next cycle.

The rest of the page sounds a bit wrong, so I was wondering if anyone has had this done to them, or heard anything about it?!
Possibly a load of rubbish.. but everythings worth a go, if it really helps?

Anyone?

Hi,

I missed this topic the first time around and since I'd never seen it before I thought I might make a reply since we do have some experience in this area. Soon after my son's car accident, the pain from his CH's increased exponentially. We were in the E.R. several times a week and many of those times he was uncontrollable. He was put into ankle and wrist restraints several times because of his thrashing and screaming. He's a big, strong guy and pretty scary to most anyone if he's out of control. One time, purely out of compassion and with his Neurologist's okay, he was given what I remember being called "white night." It was an injectable white liquid and it put him right out - and they kept him out for a week! It did break the cycle though, at least long enough for us to get him home. Since it was the doctor's call, our insurance paid the bill.
