The O2 tip is a good one, however be 4-warned, your DR. has pledged to a creed, one of the sipulations of this creed is that "I will not prescribe a drug to anyone who appears to be addicted to it" comments from doc greg might clarify. What I am trying to say is if your DR. gives you narcotic drugs, after 90 days or so he must conclude that you are addicted (peer pressure) If your clusters last longer that that your screwed, probably get in an argument with your DR. (been there) walk out all pissed off with no where to go. Check out the standard cluster meds along with O2, Lithium, prednisone, verapamil, I take all four of the above in different combinations, most GP doctors will allow you to try these, some will refer you to a nuero. Again these pill form narcotic drugs might help for a while but b4 long you will be seeking alternatives, on your own or after being declared a drug addict. Been there, done that.
