Lee has been having some cluster-free nights--first two, then four--in anyone's experience, is this typical of a cycle nearing an end, or just verapamil doing its job? Also, the attacks he gets are not as severe. Imitrex alleviates the pain in minutes. Needless to say, it is such a relief after those painful trips to the ER during the holidays. But, he does have a problem sleeping during the pain-free nights. We think a lot of it has to do with the expectation that a headache will come on--what a cruel twist! If it's not the CH, it's the fear of the CH.
Wishing you all PFDAN.
