July of 1993 I was having very rough cycle and went to Dr. who promptly informed me women don't have cluster headaches and to see my dentist.
So...the dentist told me I could spend approx $15,000 with no guarantees, or get dentures for $3000. (But I had bad gums..) So, I opted for the $3000. When the last extraction took places, my clusters stopped..for 13 months.
So here I am...I had every tooth except my wisdom teeth...probably would have been fine with usual fillings, cleanings, etc..I had an over eager dentist! Now, I have no teeth in my head..and every 12 to 15 months..a cycle of cluster headaches!
My advice...save your money for CH meds.
Like Sailpappy said...you can't chew bubble gum.!
