Great site! It has helped me a LOT. I have been having the headaches for almost a year. I diagnosed it as cluster headaches (chronic), I work with a sufferer who has had them for 30 years. My Dr. confirmed it along with a neurologist. Cafergot seems to work fairly well, but takes 15-45 minutes to kick in. With 02, in 5-10 minutes its gone using 6 ltrs/min.
Wondering why this has come on so suddenly I began to wonder what have I changed in my life. At 48 I should not just be experiencing the "Demon"! My blood pressure med was changed last summer to Zestoretic. I have stopped taking it as of today and hope the headaches go away. I hope the Verapamil is all I need for the bp. Maybe a lot of sufferers could chase the demon away if it's chemically induced? (I hope mine are!) It would be great to get back to normal as I was a year ago! GOOD LUCK to all of you!!!!
