Hey you all...I just sat down to cruise on the internet and
happened up on this site. I am a Cluster headache sufferer
and have been since I was 18 and am now 46! I am a female and I
thought I was probably the only female that got these darn things.
I read through the messages and see I am NOT the only female.
I had my last cycle 1 yr.ago January. It lasted non stop
for 6weeks and over the years I have tried many meds but my
standby is Fiornal and by having them on hand to me has really
eased my mind.My doc gives me 6 prescriptions per yr. to keep
on hand and just knowing I have them seems to help me.
I have tried:Fiornal,Valium,Inderal,Motrin,Verapimil,Imetrix,
Pamelor,Cafergot. Verapimil finally got my last series
under control, but....I feel with me anyway, I have to let them
run there course. An ice compress and prayers seem to do about
the best!!
Hey all you men out there, you ought to feel what it is
like to go through a cluster cycle while giving "birth"!
I did for both of my daughters!! Trust me, that is one
reason I only had two children, I was petrified to have
any more!!!!!!
If I can be of help to anyone, please feel free to drop
me a line. Peace....and hope you all stay "pain free!"
