Title: Clomid update :
Post by Unsolved on Nov 4th, 2003, 12:33am
I've taken the first script of 5 tablets. NO HEADACHES  :D
Today, I didn't refill my prescription, fell asleep at around 9 pm, and BAM ! 10:30 had a Kip 9  :'(  It was as bad as they get  [smiley=frown.gif]
I then ran to Walgreens and took some more (after an Imitrex injection of course). Is this stuff working ? PF for the past 5 days. I guess THIS is the test to see if it stops them. I'll keep ya posted on this med...if it works for me (and Mark), it might others  ;;D

WOW... Better not miss a dose!  

I'm getting low and have to send a long term in.
I'll need a short term dose to get me through.

But... I'm still cluster free at 4 weeks, 3 days.

;;D I have  informed the two neurologists inmy ares that specialise in Ch about Clomid and even offerd to try it out. However I cant find the farmceutical info because here in holland it probably goos under another name.
I hope you remain PF. May be there is hope for us yet. [smiley=laugh.gif]

I cannot determine yet weather this is working or just has changed my (CH) routine. First 5 days PF...6th day (missed the dose)...I fell asleep early and got a rude awakening from the beast! Ran down got some more Clomid and started it again. 5 more PFD's and then WHAM ... another 2 visits from the beast during my sleep. PF again for the last 3 days.

It might be helping (to reduce the frequency of attacks) but I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll keep taking it in the meantime and see how it goes. I'll keep you all informed.

Started on my test Clomid today. It's the 5 day trial pack and have a follow-up phone consult w/the doc. If it works I guess we'll see where to go from there.

Question: The side-effects listed at www.rxlist.com inlude blurred vision and even states such on the bottle. What I can't find out is WHY is causes this. Anyone know?

TIA

Your pharmicist may be able to answer, or at least find the answer to your question.

Good idea but I was educating him this morning on the effects of Clomid in the brain. He knew it caused blurred vision, didn't know why either. Where's damn Ueli when ya need him?

I was also warned of blurred vision and told to report it to my neuro at once if I had any problems w/ my vision. I also had to have a blood test BEFORE I could get the script to check liver functions. Not exactly sure why...better ask your doc if he/she thinks it's necessary for you to have that too.

roger that unsolved--

Day 2 and Pain Free. I do still have the stuffy nostril (same side as always) virtually all day long which is a strange manifestation. Clearly the process is being affected.  

Actually caught a movie last night and watched it all the way through. First time that has happened in a good 2 years. Usually at the 45 minute mark I'll get pain, then an all out attack. Friggin TV is a trigger, go figure!
