Write me personally if you wish. Also, write
to Nancy. We have been writing each other for
3 years. And neither of us has pain now. We
hold each other up. This is my combination for
clusters. I drink lots of water daily. It does
something to help your veins. I use a heat gel
like Flexall 454 on my forhead as soon as the
pain starts, and some days, all day long just
keep putting it on. If my attack is massive, I
rub the heat gel on my neck, head, nose, and with
in about 10 minutes it is gone. I also take
Execdrin Migrane pills and go sit outside in the
fresh cool air. This does it for me. I use to
take Imitrex and almost died from a heart attack,
I took Verapamil, but had numbness in my fingers
and toes and had to stop, I've taken predisone
which didn't help much. The heat gel OPENs the
veins which are swelling shut and allows blood
to run through. Also, our bodies have less Oxygen
and using a tank or fresh cool outside air - higher
in Oxygen molocules than indoor areas (fresh
air) help alot. NOw, don't fight the demon.
THROW HIM AWAY! Write me, I'm there daily.
my email is bbanna@abilnet.com. Also, Write
Nancy. We are an unbeatable team of friendship.
We are personally here for you. We will hold you
up in prayer and find ways to beat the pain.
Nancy and I are coping. When we met 3 years ago,
I was so suicidal I had to go to a clinic two
times! There is hope. Just believe in it.
Reach out to Nancy. Reach out to me. We will
go the miles for you. Try that heat gel. It
works! Silly as it sounds.
