Get to another neurologist IMMEDIATELY! Stuff like
this makes me want to scream. Of course women have
clusters (assuming that's what you mean by "CAs").
I've been having them for about 35 years. Just
read the posts on this message board. The accepted
ratio is 6:1 (one woman per six men gets clusters).
Recently, though, I saw another statistic that I
bet is closer to the mark: 3 to 1.
I'm not real savvy on all the drugs, but if
indomethacin is also known as Indocin, it is a
drug that can be effective for clusters.
