does anyone have any experience with changing their
diet that has affected the clusters? i.e., more
fruit or vegetables, less red meat and red wine?
my husband suffers from clusters and is desperate
to hear any input about anything that would give him
some sort of grip on preventing or lessening these.
he's on 180 mg of verapamil now, imitrex tabs and
injections (tried the imitrex injection tip with him
where you only inject 2mg instead of 6mg-freaked him
out and he won't let me do it again), couldn't get
appointment with neurologist until the 17th of
january-also, he's becoming very depressed and
despondent (understandable), wondering how others
deal with that aspect of this indescribable pain....
any input appreciated....thank you......
