Really sorry to hear about your serious struggle Anthony.

I imagine that most of us have felt severely discouraged and desperate in our experiences with the beast, but chronics especially have my utmost respect and sympathy.

We need ya to hang in there and keep trying stuff until something finally works well for you man. I'm sure you've noticed that many people with bad CH eventually find relief, and I hope you can remain determined to make it to that point too with your HC, which sounds like pretty much the same beast. Really hoping the relief will come much sooner than later. It could be just around the corner after all.

hey christy
I wish I could take care of the headaches like cluster's! Unfortunately triptans and 02 doesnt really work with hc :( Indomethicin is the # 1 line of prevent but just spoke with my headache specialist cause I raised the indo last week with no real relief so starting a pred taper tom morning to see if we could break the cycle. If you get time google hermicraina continua you will see it's very similar to cluster's.
thanks for reaching out
Anthony
