Title: Had a 5 year break
Post by k.pascoe on Dec 4^th, 2013 at 7:13am

Hi. I'm Kent Pascoe I live in the St. Louis area. I'm 51 (but look like I'm still in my 30's ;) ) My CHs have started up again, they gave my a 5 year hiatus. My first attacks started more than 20 years ago will a varying couple year break. Back to being a Imitrex fean again.
Just wanted to say hi and wish to everyone a complete nights sleep.

It’s a vitamin/mineral/fish oil supplement, all over the counter stuff. It’s up to an 81% success rate of those who try it and respond to the survey so you’re just shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t give it a shot. I’m 3 years pain free on it after a 35 plus year track record with episodic CH. Best of all, it’s healthy for you even without CH!

Wishing you a short go round this cycle.

Hi Kent and welcome

Do you have any preventives like verapamil / lithium / topomax or similar to try to cut down how many CHs you get?

For the imitrex are you using injections / nasal spray / tablets?

Tell us more and we can help with advice and suggestions.

Hi Kent,

There are a few of us here in STL and the surrounding area. I go to the Ryan Headache Center. They have helped me a lot. Let me know if you'd like their info.

Sorry your CH is back.
