I HAVE HAD CLUSTERS OFF AND ON FOR 30 YEARS...I HAD A TOOTH PULLED JUST 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE LAST CYCLE,,, I WAS ON PAIN MEDS/PERCODAN/ AND ANTIBIOTICS... THE CLUSTERS BEGAN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER...
I WAS TREATED WITH VICODAN AND IMITEX... THE VICODAN CAUSED REBOUND HEADACHES.. WENT TO A NEUROLOGIST AND WAS PLACED ON VARAPAMIL 180MG DLY. PREDNISONE 60 MG DLY. FOR 5 DAYS,, AND IMITREX TO ABORT THE HEADACHES AS THEY OCCURRED.. I HAVE BEEN PAIN FREE FOR 4 DAYS AND NIGHTS... TODAY IS MY LAST DAY FOR THE PREDNISONE, SO WE WILL SEE IF THE CH'S STOP OR START BACK UP AGAIN..
THERE MAYBE SOMETHING TO THE ANTIBIOTIC CASE.:)
