In the U.S. "vet" may mean animal doctor. So, what are we talking about?

Pain meds are the last thing you want to use use for Cluster.

Look at the buttons, left, re. oxygen.

Print out the PDF file, below, for the commonly used treatments for Cluster. Take the article to the doc and use it as a tool to discuss treatment options.

What are you, some kind of animal, sleepwalker?!  :D

Ha, just kiddin', and glad you came here. There is tremendously valuable info and advice to be found here regarding CH treatments, much of which doctors tend to be unaware of.

That oxygen info link on the left is a good one indeed. When a doctor doesn't want to prescribe the newer, more effective high liter flow O2, some of us will just take their dumb low flow prescription then proceed to choose our own liter flow that is actually effective.

There's so much other stuff to cover, but for starters:


  • Vitamin D3 for prevention: read about it here: START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE

  • The clusterbusters approach. Here are some links:
