Get a second opinion.
Do you get them everyday for 10-15 minutes 8-12 times per day or do you ever have a cluster of days where they don't occur?
I think that if you mean what I think that you mean by running out of patience, we've all been there on many occasions. The reason that I've never done it is that I keep reminding myself that this given headache will pass. Or that this given cycle will end. I too get them up to 8 times per day and they last usually for an hour or two. I haven't gone more then a month without at least one CH for about 15 years now. I don't tell you this for the sake of comparing each others HAs, although that's sometimes theraputic to do, but rather to hopefully give you a bit more strength to hang in there until they come up with something for us. It sure would be a shame to knock oneself off a month before they got this solved for us, wouldn't it be?
