I asked my neuro and ER doc about that. I only
take an Imitrex pill once every 4 days and I had
not had any for 5 days before that episode.
It does sound true that if you suffer on your
right side of brain that your left side would
experience problems like numbness. So, I guess
I;m blaming it on the clusters. I now try to
handle the attacks using O2 even if I have to stay
on it for 3 hours. But, so far, the steriods seem
to be working with the Verapamil. I'm super
tired though and my neuro said it's because of
my low blood pressure due to Verapamil. Part of
the pain for gain against the PAIN of clusters.
Take care, SONYA
