Hi Mirne, wanna wish you welcome.

Could you please elaborate a bit on your situation? Which medication? Do you have Oxygen? As many more here will tell you, it's a first choice abortative for most.

Personally, I've been a clusterhead since my final year in high school, so that's about 15 years for me. CH still after all those years, scares the hell outta me, and most others here will also tell you you'll never get used to it. BUT, there are many ways to improve your life. The Red Bull thing, drink it at the first sign of a hit and it will either reduce or even kill a hit. Great alternative. You can always take the injectables afterwards if the drink won't work.

Please pass us your regimen, maybe we can help you further.

Painfree time your way, Pascal.

...AND AS A FINISHING TOUCH, GOD CREATED THE DUTCH.

What Pacal said!!!

Welcome to the board, glad you found us, REALLY glad you found a doc that takes you seriously. Many people go through years and years of searching before they get lucky. That being said. What is your regimen? What do you take as a preventative medication, what do you use for an abortive, when the headaches hit? The power of this board is in the combined sharing of experiences. And another really strong vote for oxygen here!
