I tried it, not any luck. They say it has 98% rate with helping CPH.

I tried it; the only thing it did to me was to give me 8-hour regular headache - twice. My neuro subscribed it to me only because he didn't believe that I had CH; but he does now. ;;D

Best wishes,

i take it to combat one of the other fun HA's on top of the CH...has helped that but not the CH (atleast I don't think)

I think for it to have any real effect on CH it has to be @ really high doses........then again it is just an NSAID so why do we have to get that instead of Advil....Just a thought.

Hope something works.

What dosage are you on, mine gave me the same today, and another to go with them to counteract ulcers??? he told me , up to 2, 3 times a day? hope they work for you, i think it is the last throw of the dice for my neuro, he is sending for reinforcements if indomethicin doesn't work.
Whats CPH ??

Probably a good idea for CH people to try this drug as it is almost 100% effective for another headache that is similar to CH (chronic paroxysmal hemicrania). This will rule out the other brand. It probably won't do anything positive for CH.

Non steriod anti inflammatory.
