I just started with another bout with cluster headaches. I do not get them as offten as some do. I can go for yeas without them, but when they hit, they hit hard.
So far for me the Imatrex pill and nasal spray help me when i can get them. I am having problems with my insurance company.
But a friend told me that there was no drugs that would help him. I doctor told him to try a drug used for blood pressure,and it helped him. he takes it everyday for the rest of his life. I will try to get the name of that drug for you so that you can talk to your doctor about it.
I am so scared to go to bed becaues i know i will be wakened by the pain. My wife did noty believe the pain i was going through until she started to read some of the letters in this chat room.
I pray for all of us with these headaches.
I hope to hear from you as to maybe we can help one another.
hope all goes well soon
John
