boy, you got some good suggestions here! but i can relate cause my family goes thru this every year! I can't even attend my son's hockey games for fear of an attack. Or his karate clases... it's stifling. Anyway, my doc gives me on my bad years two shots in the back of my head. They are called Octiblocker shots and I remain without ch's for about six weeks. They can only be given by your neuro. To qualify for the shots, it has to be really bad which yours sound like. I'll be honest with you, the shots do hurt! but the pain is only two minutes and worth the two minutes of pain. good luck. I plan on doing them this year if mine become really bad.
