Your'e in the right place to get some support and good advice Jayson.
My immediate reaction to your posting is the same as the others. That's an awful lot of pills to be popping. Some may certainly do you some good. The problem is how are you going to know which one or ones are working. A second opinion is probably a very good idea.
The one thing that brings quick relief to many CH sufferers with virtually no risk is oxygen. I couldn't manage without it. Basically at the first signs of an attack you need to breath 100% oxygen and for many sufferers the attack will be aborted within ten or fifteen minutes. Quite often it works in less than five minutes for me.
You will need a tank of oxygen, a special regulator that delivers at least 10 to 12 litres of O2 per minute and the correct face mask. This site will give you all the detailed information you need.
I am sure,before too long, you will start to gain control of your CH problem. Wishing you all the very best.
