Hello,
This is my first post.  I've been suffereing from CH for about 20 years and am in my mid-40's now.  I've been fortunate that they have only come every 3 years since in the last 9 years (2009, 2012 and now). 

2009 was particularly bad.  I was on a variety of meds (verapmil, Topamax, prednisone cycles), but was using Imitrex for the pain.  I started to get terrible rebounds, so I tried O2.  It worked very well for about 2 weeks, then I got even worse rebound headaches.

In 2012 I finally found a nuero who was a headache specialist.  She put me on Methergine, and I did not have one severe CH.  It was a miracle.

In March a new cycle started.  I went on Methergine and had no problems until May 14th.  I had CH's on the 14th and 15th, so my dosage was increased.  It stopped them until the 21st, but now they are completely out of control.  I'm having at least 3 acute attacks a day, and have a headache pretty much all day. 

My nuero put me on Lyrica now.  Does anyone have any experience with using Lyrica successfully to treat CH's?

Thank you!
