I'm new here and maybe this has or has not been brought up before. I'm a bit nervous so please forgive me if I screw up in any way - never done this before. Okay- Obviously I snowplow - commercial and residential. I know my meds - Topamax - indomethacin - sumatriptan. I don't know maybe i'll just answer the phones

?

You get back to us when you can.

The only possible interpretation I can come up with is that you are worried about operating heavy machinery while on your meds.    I don't think that's a big concern given the meds you mentioned but make sure to read all warning labels.

MDR,

You had to read Ken's first post and look between the lines of both posts to begin to understand where he's coming from...

Brew had the best response...  When you're fishing and nothing is biting, any bait will work about the same...  Ken needs to tell us a bit more about his situation with cluster headaches.

The telling line at this point is not being able to communicate with family and I assume friends, about what his cluster headaches are doing to him... so here goes...

Ken, it sounds like you've been diagnosed with cluster headaches...  If that assumption is correct, believe it or not, that's good news... Now you know why you're having these terrible headaches...  Too many CH'ers go for years not knowing what's causing them.

What nearly all of us have found, is once your immediate family really understands what cluster headaches are and what they're doing to you... they can become great supporters...

The other good news is it sounds like you're working on medications that will control this disorder...  It can take months if not years as an episodic CH'er to arrive at a workable combination of medications to keep your cluster headaches under control... 

Even then, when you think you've found the magic combination... your cluster headaches can and will change.  Just be confident there's always a solution to keeping your cluster headaches under control...  you just need to find it.

What I didn't see in your prescription medications was oxygen therapy.  Keeping a cylinder of oxygen with a 25 liter/minute regulator and an O2PTIMASK™ kit in the cab of your truck will make a huge difference when the cluster beast comes a calling.

If used properly, you should be able to abort your cluster headaches in an average of 7 minutes...  even less if you catch them early.

Just understand you're now among people who know and understand all too well what you're going through...

Take care and as Brew says... get back to us when you can...

V/R, Batch
