Hi All,
  It's been about 3 years since I've been here because I haven't had a Cluster for that long due to a low dose of lithium in the evening.  It's been a god send after suffering for 20 years.
  Then last week I had back surgery and I'm getting hit hard at my old times of 9pm and 2am.  I forgot how much it sucks and my heart goes out to all who never get a break.
  Anyways, I got my O2 today and dusted off the O2ptimask for a late night meeting tonight.  I also had to use a 4 year old Imitrex shot last night, that I swore I would never use again.
  I'm hoping the O2 works as good as it did  in the past and from what I can tell it is still the treatment of choice?
  I'd be curious if anyone else has experienced attacks due to surgery.  I was experiencing pinched nerves in my leg and the doctor de-compressed my spinal column and inserted some supporting hardware.  I suppose if you mess with the spinal column it can affect everything?

Take care,
Bill

What drugs did they give you during recovery? I know when I severely broke my arm years ago and had surgery they gave me morphine and vicodin. I immediately went onto cycle. Through the years I have found that many different drugs cause me to go into cycle. Both pain meds and antibiotics unfortunately.
