Hi,
This is only probably the second or third message I've posted on this wonderful site, are there any British sufferers out there?? I'm in Birmingham, England, and would be interested to make contact with other fellow Brits! My clustermonster is on holiday at the moment, but no doubt he will be back shortly - I'm next due an episode around May/June, peaking in early July (time of my forthcoming wedding - so that should be FUN!!!) I'm very lucky in that I have a very understanding family and doctor, also have contact with a doctor in London who studies these beasts and I work from home, although I would commute 200 mile a day if I never had another headache! I wish all of you who are going through this now some decent nights of sleep and hopefully a cure that works for us all! Incidentally, I use soluble Aspirin (4 or 5 tablets) and O2. Tried all the Imigran, sumitriptan, amytriptilyne, cafergot, ergotomine, diazepam, etc, etc,etc, to no avail! My doctor is considering recommending me for surgery - not sure about that!
Painfree days and nights to you all
Linda
