Hey everyone,

Had CH for 10 years, have been here on this forum in years past.  I got my clusters almost like clockwork from Thanksgiving weekend to around Christmas.

Last round was in 2008.  I quit smoking in Jan 2009, and have been pain (and smoke) free since then.  Ive been on Verapamil since 2008 and never stopped (240mg / day).  Well, about two months ago I had a few cigs after a huge celebration my company had.  that night, i woke up with shadows... then i dropped the smokes after that one night and havent had them since.  But... my CH cycle started again, on Dec 1.   Back with avengence I might add- getting 3-4 per night and used to only have 1-2 per night. 

Ive got my O2 and Zomig but they arent really doing much this time around- maybe preventing me from hitting KIP 9 but thats about it. 

So-- back to feeling the same miserable sense of isolation, hard for my wife to even relate, i can tell she just still doesnt get what im going through.  I cant blame her, but it just sucks.  the lack of sleep is driving me insane on top of this. 

I tell you im never picking up smokes again, may be coincidence, im guessing not.. but who knows.

Well sorry to be back after so many years just to vent.  this is the one place in the world i know people know what im dealing with.  will enjoy lurking here for at least the next few weeks

cheers

Well great!  I read the 123 thread in detail.

And then ran to Walgreens!  Cant wait to see if this works.  Thanks for the pointer!!
