Title: Thank You For this site
Post by buckeye_mike on Feb 7^th, 2005, 2:54pm

I was diagnosed with Clusters a few weeks ago after 7 years of dealing with them. I have found alot of Information by reading this site and just wanna thank you. Im currently in a "cycle" as it seems to be the right term and have been in agony for the past two weeks. The only thing that seems to give me any lil bit of pain relief is Zomig. The doctor Tried me on a new Medicine last week called RELPAX but im still undecided on its helpfulness. After reading up i do believe im gonna try the oxygen for more relief.

Also i was reading where folks arent sure what trigger their clusters.... well im almost 100 percent sure i know what started mine... in 1998-99 i took a cycle of shots in the army for anthrax and ever since then i have had them, they come they go, but rest assured they always come back. Last night was a sleepless night of me squeezing my head like a giant pimple and im sure ill be reading on here again this evening. Hard to believe god would put a 28 year old man and vet of two wars thru more pain but i guess everything happens for a reason. Anyway just wanted to thank you for a place to come get info and read up and share my pains with.

Mike
