First..thanks to all of you who responded to me..very helpfully.
Now let me tell you how I think I got in that shape.
My Dr. told me 3 doses of Zomig per week. I did the math and came up with # of mgs. Then I learned I could stop pain with 1/2 dose. Then I cut the pills in two and took them for twice as long. Now that was dumb. I repressed my vascular system for twice the lenth of time I should have..no wonder it reacted. The rest of course, was pain and the nature of the clusters. I've not had any Zomig since Monday..sometime Monday..and I'm doing much better.
My Dr. put me on a beta blocker which may also help with clusters..something is helping. I've been mostly pain free since 4:30 AM on Wednesday. I slept well and long last night and woke to a whole new world today. Perhaps the cycle is breaking! Whatever, for however long..I'm grateful.
A special thank you for NANCY...that sweet lady called me long distance to check up on me...just like a sister!
I pray the Lord's blessing on each and everyone of you fellow clusterheads, I'm so appreciative of the support I've been receiving on this website.
Let's hear it for DJ for getting this going for us!
Sleep well!!! Margaret Godfrey
