Title: 2 Questions
Post by joe w. on Jul 29th, 2009 at 6:16pm
1. I have had back and knee pain treated by monochromatic light delivered by a broadbeam laser to deep tissue level to promote healing, circulation, and reduce inflammation. In reading about this therapy, mention is made of vasodilation occurring.
Has anyone had similar treatment, and is there any danger of this vasodilation triggering a new cluster cycle?

2. Thankfully my recent cycle terminated. Got another bump in life's road- diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Likely that Viagra, cialis will be recommended after treatment of the cancer to hasten return of erectile function. Has anyone a comment on whether ED drugs are likely to trigger cluster headache. Hopefully the answer would be no - at least no, if not already in cycle.

Thanks so much,

Joe W.

On the laser, I wouldn't worry about it unless it's directly effecting your neck / head / brain.

On the viagra, etc, I've seen some guys mention it as a trigger during cycle, but I haven't saw it mentioned as one out of cycle. I could be wrong though.
