Hello Everyone !
Glad to finally find a place online for all info one could want and or need
Currently in Diamond Springs CA , Working for a major computer company, 33 winters old and trying to still enjoy life
Since this round of CH has hit I am extremely photo sensitive , but sound has no effect.
My first bout with CH was in 2003 but only lasted for about 2 months .. At that time I had a passing in the family and just chalked it up to "stress"
Around the March of 2008 I started another cycle but as of yet did not know the cause .. after 3 weeks I finally broke down and went into the clinic . Well according to them I was suffering from migraines ....
well I was PF until the end of July and I have been dancing since .
I have not had a Primary Care doc since I was in grade school and really have not had anything wrong with me medically.
Well in July I changed all of that , the HA's were getting worse, more frequent and lasting longer .
Finally after what seemed like 7 different meds, and 3.5 months my doc referred me to a decent neuro.
Have to admit that my PC doc is good , went through a full MRI setup as well as blood work. Nothing abnormal at all ok another dead end ..
I know that on my Mothers side of the family Migraines are common and both my mother and one of my aunts have severe Migraines.
well back to my neuro ... ( sorry I am sorta scattered but right now I am in the sweat of a nice little dance and the hits are coming regular and strong - Damn that nice sharp pencil !!!!
That consult lasted all of 20 minutes once we got into the same room ...
He sorta laughed and said you are not suffering from Migraines ... you are suffering from CH ...
ok so Nortriptlyne went out the window ... ( thank god that stuff messed up my already messed up sleep cycle )
made an RX of Verap and Prend-taper
( kept the phenegren due to the verap causing lots of nausea )
So currently I am using Verap and Prend- taper with imitrex and O2 for aborts. ( Thank you all for the info .... it has helped a LOT !!! ) my neuro was a little dicey about the o2 but I kinda forced the issue
SO I am waiting for a non-rebreather mask from the Oxy place ( even talked them into possibly ordering a clustermasx !!YEAH!!!)
Verap 240mg 1x daily
Prend-taper 60mg
Imitrex inject 6mg
and all the O2 I can handle
P.S. the going joke around the house is " Anyone Got a spoon ?!? " if I can only remove the eye ......
