hi all. i wrote a while back and suggested zostrix. anyone try this? did you have luck with it? had 4 headaches from last night to this a.m. I thank God for my zostrix although two of them got pretty severe. I also have lyme disease and a co-infection and take so many meds. I take oxycontin for fibromyalgia which is one of the strongest pain meds you can get and it doesn't even TOUCH my clusters.
This is only my second post here. I'm trying to check in here more often. No one I know gets clusters (other than one lady I used to work for and my mom who hasn't had one in a very long time) and just need to vent sometimes with those who understand so here it goes... AAARRRGGHHH!!!! This time around my clusters are acting much differently than ever before. I've been getting them since around Jan. and they've been sporadic but seem to be peaking now. (I'm 40 and have been getting them almost bi-yearly since age 19.) Just wonder how much longer I'm going to have them. They usually don't hang around this long.
Well, my understanding and sympathy go out to all of you. I'm glad I found this board. Hoping for a cluster-free day for all!!
