All this pious brow-beating simply because a cluster-
sufferer desperately wants relief from the most
severe pain known to man. Listen, I am a one of the
"cursed few" and I have tried Verapamil. The drug was
completely ineffective and did not do a damn thing for my
clusters. Granted, Predizone is not without its side effects
(what drug isn't really) but who are you Jack to chastise
a person simply because they are using what works
for them. I personally am on a taper right now and so-far
it is working for me. I am hoping the clusters don't return (I
am well into my 3rd month of a unrelenting cluster)
but if they do, I will do WHATEVER it takes to
keep these horrific beasts from taking control of my life.
