We all need someone to talk to and the someone(s) who truly know how we feel & what we are saying are the best! No matter how many times we have told or heard the "cluster saga"; (I think I can speak for the family) we are glad to hear it again. Sad that someone else has the story to tell but glad to encourage, share with and comfort our new friend. Rob is absolutely right about the verapamil. I am a lucky one who benefits tremendously from that drug but your dosage is entirely too low to be effective against clusters. Also, have you tried oxygen as an abortive? It can work wonders (but as Drummer can testify use with caution! HA! HA!). DJ has created an excellent site for us. I suggest using the search engine for verapamil, oxygen & O2 for very good advice. And by the way, BRAVOS & a big bouquet to your wife. She sounds like a special, loving lady.
