Hi, my name is Teresa and I'm the wife of a clusters headache sufferer. He begun with prednisone, but I think he is getting chronic, so the Neuro decided to change the drugs and now he is taking Lithium (one week) and trying to abort the attacks with ergotamine (Cafergot), but the crises are very strong and he suffers a lot. His neuro says that there is not too much to do. Well we know Imigran too but we are trying to find something more natural and a friend told us about acupuncture. Do you have any experience about this? does it go? We will be gratefull if you can tell us something about. Thank you very much.
