Hi again, i've been a CH victim for about 12 years now and not till the last 5 have I really found out what it is, and not till the last 2 years, since I have found this site, have I really started learning about this devil. Interesting to see what everyone has tried, what has worked what hasn't, and just the general feeling of understanding here that you cant find anywhere else. My clusters seem to be the almost perfect typical condition..coming every 14 months, lasting for 2-3 months. But in the last two cycles, they have come with the most vicious cold/flu...god this makes it even harder to deal with....
So here are my questions.1). does this happen to anyone else...seems i cant get rid of the cold because i have the CH's wearing me down. 2). I was prescribed Verapimil 120mg three tabs a day, not sure if this is going to work, but was wondering if anyone had any side effects from this, namley sore back and kidneys?(could be the cold though). 3).and lastly, what is all the talk i have been hearing about shrooms?, i havent visited this site since my last bout in oct2000 and there wasnt anyting then about this...is there anyone out there that has some good advise about this or anything else i would sure apprieciate it. i am about 3 weeks into this and again it is wearing me down. willing to give anything a try. please email me thank you for your time.
