Thank you so much for posting this material. And
thanks to Dr. Campbell for allowing it to be posted.
I've had episodic clusters for 35 years now, and
the thought of a new, effective drug in the offing
is very exciting.
What's the next step? Testing on many cluster
patients? Do you have a test group yet? I hope
that by my next episode, 2 years from now (I'm
currently in the midst of an episode), Ritalin
will be available a relatively safe, effective drug.
Again, thank you for posting to this group. I'm
going to give your article to my neurologist here
in L.A., Dr. Spitzer.
