2004, 2005 CH advances?

The medication survey tab on this site is helpful, but the survey was completed back in 2000. I last suffered CH in Fall 2003 and at that time was on Pred and Verap as preventatives and o2 and Trex shots as abortives. Has the CH community made any medical advances with other preventative or abortive medications/methods that have been unanimously helpful since Fall 2003 or are the meds I listed above still known to be the best for episodic CH sufferers? Please reply...thanks in advance, Gregg in Las Vegas

They are working on CGRP antagonists which may just take the pain out of clusters. Still in the experimental/research phase.

Bob P is signed off right now so I’ll do this for him. We gotta do everything for Boob!
Put CGRP antagonists into your Google and a bunch of sites will appear.
Here’s one to get you started.

It's pretty nice today, except for the humidity.
100 degrees and 25 % wetness. Hoping for a big lightning storm later this evening.
Big bufoon..............LMAO...I like that.

Here's another one. Don't quite know how much has changed, but this one sure helped me as an every 3-5 year sufferer:
