It has been a while since I checked in on this site but while I was having my CH's, I was here several times a day.
I had been chronic for 9 months or more with the CH's coming 2-3 times a day. After going through all the standard tests with 2 Neouo's I finally found a Dr who really knew what he was doing. I had left 2 Neuro's because i didn't like the care i was being given and they really didn't know much about clusters.
After my 1st visit with the 3rd neuor, he put me on Amerge, 2x per day for 2 weeks. He had done his research and knew this was something new dr's were trying to break CH cycles. After about 1 1/2 week, the headaches stopped. It has been about 4 months now and they really haven't returned.
I had posted my info months ago after the CH stopped but I never received a response that anyone else tried the Amerge so I thought I would try posting it again.
It really worked for me without any side affects...except tiredness. I have not taken ANY med's for about 4 months now and really feel great.
I hope my CH's don't return. I think back at how controlled my life was by these demons and how different i feel now.
Hopefully my info will be able to help someone else to end their pain.
