Title: It's finally over !
Post by unsolved1 on Aug 3rd, 2005, 12:22am
I’ve had cluster headaches for almost 17 years. My last cycle started in October of 2000 and has just ended. Sunday will make it 4 weeks that I’ve been pain free. I’m no longer “chronic”!! Thanks to Histamine desensitization & The Diamond Headache Clinic … I no longer fear sleep and I can now get back to my life

Glad to hear it.  I am impressed with the Diamond Headache Clinic... I spoke with a doc there before but didn't pursue getting treatment due to location.  I'm so happy for u..... ;;D

It takes 11 days in the hospital to complete the Histamine drip therapy. You're given 2 IV bags of Histamine per day until you finish 21 bags.

I had to repeat the therapy several times before it made me completely pain free, but it paid off. I wish I would've done it a loooong time ago!

Thanks everyone !

PF Wishes to all,

Michael

Michael, nothing could make me happier than seeing the Imitrex producers lose one of their best ever customers!  LOL

I can't think of anyone who deserves the relief more.  May it last, and last, and last ....

Hugs,

Kris
