Hi all.
I've been suffering from CH for years but was only diagnosed last year near the end of a cycle. My doc put me on Indomethacin (Indomed) 25mg 3 times a day. Like I said I was near the end of a cycle (I didnt really know about cycles then) and after about 2 weeks the Beast went away. I thaught I was cured :( Well its a year later now and I'm in the middle of another bout and the Doc's given me Indomethacin again (same dosage). I've been taking the Indomethacin for 2 weeks with no relief now and I'm beginning to think it never worked in the first place and that I'd just reached the end of my cycle naturaly. Also I read that Indomethacin is prescribed for chronic sufferers. Am I getting the right medication ?
After finding your site 2 days ago I imidiatly went out and got myself a bottle of Oxygen. Wow! I have a pretty hiegh tolerence to pain, but anyone getting an eight scale (kips scale) attack a day would would have to seriusly contemplate decapitation as an only resort. Well im 3 for 3 with the Oxygen and over the moon. My deepest heart felt gratitude to everyone and the creator of this site.
