Hello, my name is Bryan and I am new to this site. I am going through a series of Clusters now and this set seems to be fairly tolerable but excruciatingly painful. I have been a Cluster victim for 10 years, I’m a 34 year old male, and my Clusters last approximately 5 weeks in the summer every year or every other year. They are on the left side and I haven't tried every drug but I'm starting to get some new ideas from this and other web sites.
I do have a question for someone out there. My general practitioner has prescribed Zomig. I know that this works well for migraines and other chronic long-term headaches, but as we know, most individual Clusters are over in about an (+/-) hour. "Has anyone used Zomig on CHs with any success and has there been any significant side-effects?"
And to DJ, Thank you very much for this site. Often people do not fully realize the effect their actions have upon the lives of others but let me state that after three days of pouring through every single word on your site, your have significantly changed my attitude towards Clusters and you will definitiely be in my prayers tonite. My heart is greatly lifted and I know that I will be able to confidently move forth and continue with my life.
God bless,
W. Bryan Bell
