I'm in Calgary :) Sorry to hear you're getting hit so hard. My hubby is a clusterhead too. Your paralysis worries me, though - have you had that checked? That's NOT a common complaint here and we've had some stroke scares here, especially with our leader. So don't mess with that, go see a neuro a.s.a.p. - even if just to confirm that you're ok.
Oh and by the way - you live in a prime area to check out our 'alternative treatment' that has made the difference quite a few here. If you check out the links to the left you can read all about it - or email me, by pressing my name in blue at the top of this post.
As to the gingko, I would caution you that one of the most common side effects of many herbs is headache. Not necessarily cluster, but ...
If you're going to go the herb route, feverfew is targetted more towards neurological events but you have to take it for a long time to see any real results. We're finding it's much more successful to target the seratonin imbalance you guys seem to have and I doubt gingko is going to do much for that.
Peace be with you, Bryan and welcome to the madness!
