My partner Jim has been suffering from clusters for a little
over 3 years. He's 29, and from what I've read, it sounds like
this could go on for a long time. I just discovered this board and
have been reading all of your info (as well as steves's, dan's, etc.)
I've printed most of the messages and Jim is calling his doctor tomorrow,
so hopefully she will be willing to prescribe the Diflucan. I would like
to know what your anti fungal diet consists of so he can try that too.
A message at the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital
was posted by a Bob Reed who, after treating his chapped hands with Diflucan,
diagnosed as a fungus by a dermatologist, found relief from clusters.Anyway, thanks
to all of you for your info. I'll keep you posted/Jim will keep you posted
if he can get Diflucan, and I look forward to learning about your special diet.
