Paroxysmal Hemicrania
Aug 10th, 2008 at 6:02am
 
Hi Everybody,
After a few trips to the Doctor's and Neurologist
over last few days. I have told I suffer with Paroxysmal Hemicrania. I have been given Indomethacin tablets for my next attack.
If Cluster Heacheads are more painful and severe than my condition, I take my hat off to all you it must be hell during an attack, I know my attacks are bad enough.
Hope I can still come on site as even though I don't have CH as such.
Many many pain free days to you all
love sparkles

Anyone who'd wish us pain free days, and mean it, is welcome here fair dinkum.

(You could even send beer rather than bringing the oranges on at half-time.)

Were the instructions to take the Indocin all the time or only when you are actually having an attack?

Hi Bob,  I was advise to take the tablets three times a day when i have first signs of an  attack till the end of the cycle.
