as they made me chronic. Think I was on them for four years, what a wasted four years bouncing between CH's and ergostats. I am much happier on very low doses of prednisone, like 5 mg a couple of times per week and oxygen, I also had a bad reaction to Imitrex and it never phased my CH. Coating the inside of his nose with Ora-Jel may break a cluster.
Unfortunately there are no medications exclusively for CH's, have to settle with hand-me-downs and hope for the best.
