I began getting what was finally diagnosed as Clusters after having my first mild heart
attach at the age of 40. I have suffered with chronic clusters for 7 years.
I have used oxygen and have had much success with Lithium and Depekote for the last 2 years.
Suddenly they stopped working and I am going through a severe cluster. My doctor has put me
on Prednisone again to try to "break" the cluster. However he canonly allow me on this for
10 days. I can't take Imetrix or Cafergot because of my heart condition.
Besides oxygen does anyone know anything else to abort a cluster attack
that is not a vasoconstricter? (besides a loaded 45?)
