Tami:
When do you get your headaches, and what does
the pain feel like? Is it throbbing or boring?
Do you have nausea with the pain? How often do
the headaches come? Have you had them before?
If you post this info, you might get several
responses as to whether this sounds like cluster.
Of course, this is no substitute for a diagnosis
by a competent neurologist, but it could be
interesting.
As far as preferring Imitrex to Inderol, it's not
an either/or situation. It's helpful to be on a
preventive AND an abortive, for those headaches
that slip through. I'm on Verapamil (preventive)
AND oxygen and Imitrex (abortives).
