Sorry to hear it's been so long.
That sux...
You might suggest a prednisone taper to your doc. It helped me and alot of others. Not everyone, but alot of us.
Get some O2! And imitrex injections are fabulous!

Hey Eddie,
I'm really sorry to hear that it didn't go well. Did you ask him about O2? What did he say? Could you possibly call them tomorrow and ask them about it?
Hang in there, and know we are here to support you!!
Effexor is used for some headache conditions, but I don't think CH really. Vioxx is also used for some headache conditions, too. It is a NonSteroidal AntiInflammatory Drug.
Keep on posting!! Take care!

Eddie, hang in there. Call and DEMAND some O2. It's cheap and doesn't have any side effects so your doc can't say NO. Just tell him it worked for you and works for other CH sufferers as well.
Hang tough !

Vioxx? For CHs, I have never heard of any Neuro prescibing that. Did he diagnose you with CHs?
See a different doctor. Take the CH quiz too. Why would a Neuro prescibe Vioxx for CHs (am I missing something?)

Yeah I just saw someone elses post that they recently FDA-approved Vioxx for migraines. I have never heard of NSAIDs being successful for CHs.
God, if I saw a new Neuro, after all these years, after all this sufferring and pain beyond description and he said to take Vioxx and an anti-depressant I would have had a fit of agitation and prolly punched the guy. Sort of a joke. Sort of?
Of course, Eddie if you are new.....keep reading and getting yourself informed because as unfortunate as it sounds, often we, the patients have to educate the doctors. As a tip, when in cylces I keep a headache diary and when I do see a NEW Neuro I bring a bit of literature. It only helps. Unless the Neuro is some reject.
Most Neuros I have seen (hmmmm 4,5), all but one knew CH treatment fairly well. One even publishes in the medical literature as she is head of the Neurology Department at the Univ of Hartford.
Key is proper diagnosis and finding an educated doctor.

Eddie,
Sounds like you are taking good steps in getting oxygen and finding a high flow rate regulator. Good job. You have done some reading!!!
Good luck and hope you get relief!

Eddie,
I have never had these problems in the ear. Perhaps other CH'ers do though.
I might be concerned you have something other than CHs. Have you been diagnosed?
Good luck.

Um Eddie.....I am a little worried about your mental state. Either you rush through your posts, and if you are in pain I understand but you said, and I quote,
Quote:there is something wrong with the left side of my
head no the neruo i went to. dont think he knows
or care but i will press on |

Dude......I don't understand you. I asked if you have been DIAGNOSED with clusters. Pain on the top of the head is unusual for CHs. At least for me. It's all about the eye.

Eddie,
For Crying out loud see another doctor. I think he must have you on medicine that makes your writing completely incoherent.
You need to see a doctor who has "at least heard of" clusterheadaches.
Take action!!!
