I have just returned from the cleveland clinic for the 3rd time in 5 years.
This is the first time i have i have ever looked on line for others that suffer from cluster.I am so glad i am not alone , thanx.
I am a 31yr old father of 3 who has had clusters for 7 yrs now .Ihave tried manny meds.,none of which have worked.
I have had periods of remittion in the past years, but now there back with force!!!!
Like i said earlier the clevelandclinic neouro. dept perscribed 240mg verapomil one time a day for 4 days then increase to 2 a day if they increase[i have taken this before with some results]. He also gave me IMITREX SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE INJECTIONS 6mg self injecting at the onset of peak cluster.I have not taken this before and would like some opinions . please e mail me with info or leave in board.
Like i said before, this is my first time here and i hope that the sharring of info and fealings will help me through another season of hell thanx
