I just completed the medication survey as best I could.My problem was that as my cycle continues toward the end my clusters get increasungly longer and severe.The options in the survey may have worked in the early stages of the cycle but become less effective later in the cycle until I can't take it anymore and head for the emergency room for a shot of demerol.That has always been the end of my cycle and I have had Clusters 6 months out of every year since 1970.The survey does not address medication effectiveness as the pain intensity and duration gets worse.
