I AM VERY NEW AT THIS SO PLEASE BARE WITH ME. I HAVE HAD CLUSTERS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND MIGRAINES FOR OVER 35 YEARS. I CAN'T USE IMITREX BECAUSE OF MY HEART. I HAVE PROBABLY SEEN AT LEAST 15 DRS. AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS EITHER LIVE WITH IT OR CALL IT QUITS AND YOU WON'T HAVE ANY MORE HEADACHES. I HAVEN'T COME TO THAT YET BUT I HAVE COME CLOSE AT TIMES. I GET 3 TO 5 MIGRAINES EVERY WEEK AND MY CLUSTERS HIT ME IN FALL AND SPRING. THEY LAST 8 TO 12 WEEKS. MY CLUSTER STARTED TODAY THATS WHY I FOUND THIS SITE. MY DR. HAS SUGGESTED WEARING A FENTONAL PATCH FOR PAIN, ITS CALLED A DUROGESIC PATCH, DOES ANY ONE WEAR THIS? ANY LUCK? I HAVE PROBABLY TRIED MOST OF THE USUAL ITEMS, I AM LOOKING FOR SOME RELIEF. I JUST WISH MORE PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I GO THROUGH. I AM ON DISABILITY AND HAVE BEEN FOR 5 YEARS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FIND SOME HELP SO I COULD MAYBE RETURN TO WORK. THANKS FOR ANY HELP, GARY
