Hi everyone...just wanted to let you know that I saw the neurologist a couple weeks ago here in Palm Springs and he was very good. He put me on Sansert 2mg twice a day and the feeling that the Cluster was returning is waining and I am doing a lot better. He explained to me at the first sign of cluster return..it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to begin prophylaxis which may include Sansert, Cafergot etc. The prophy is the key and based on the improvement here, he seems to know what he is talking about. I still occasionally get the dull ache behind my right eye but nothing has developed into full blown CH. Thank GOD for this. He also gave me Imitrex just in case things don't continue as well in the future. He wants me to take the Sansert for a full three months...usually the course of the Cluster and then step down and stop. He explained to me at the first sign of the Cluster returning, to resume taking the Sansert and have the Imitrex on hand just in case. Sure beats being totally wasted on narcotics. Just wanted to share the good news with yall and hope that maybe it might help someone else who hasn't maybe tried the Sansert.
Wishing you painfree days and nights,
Geoff
