Dear Monster fighters,
My name is Ed. I am a 45 year old that has had cluster headaches for 24 years. Normally my cycle length is about 3 1/2 weeks with from 2 to 3 headaches per day. This year my cycle has continued for 8 weeks with no end in sight. I started taking Verapimil about 3 weeks ago and it is really working great. Only about 5 headaches since I started taking it. I'm very happy about the very few headaches but I am really wanting this to come to an end. My body tells me, with it's presures, feelings, and pains, that the monster is just sitting there waiting and is not giving any signals that he is planning on leaving me. I'm wondering if any of you out there have any experience with your cycle length getting longer and if you can give me any insite. Thanks for your help and wishing you all peace and pain free.
Ed
