Cheryl call around you have to find him another doctor. They had me on Demerol it made it twice as hard for me to fight the pain when it came. I was to druged up to fight. I am not a doctor by a long shot but I have had these damn things long enough to know Demerol is not going to help. Call doctors and ask them what they know about cluster before you go to them then print out information here. Hell take the information to the ER if you have to. Also call the different ERs and find one that understands clusters ahead of time. If you have a regular doctor have them tell the hospital of what to give Donald and have it put on his chart at the hospital. I would also call the hospital admistrator about the treatment you recieved. I did this and not only did they put on my chat what to do for me but I did not have to pay for the visit where I was so badly mistreated. Be nice to her or him and explain what they did and send her or him any information you can get on clusters. They are there to help make it clear what clusters are what ever you do don't call them a headache Cheryl when talking to them! We are thinking of you too.
