Hello everyone.  I just discovered this site through wikipedia of all places and I am so glad I have found it.  I have had ch for almost 8 years and I just turned 34.  I am finally going to see a neuro for the first time tomorrow morning and from what I have read on this site I really need to try oxygen.  The ch, this go around, have been the most intense I have ever had.  I remember them being about an hour but I have actually had one last 5 hours (ran out of meds the night prior.)  Needed your opinion on this.  During my last cycle, they put me on verapamil and ergotamine(caffeine tablets) and within a week they were gone.  I am 3 weeks into this cycle and they didn't work.  I went and saw a doctor that couldn't push me out of the door fast enought and gave me indocin? I asked him about the other prescriptions and he said, "yeah, just take all 3."  Well, when I don't have a headache, I feel like crap!  The indocin makes me extremely drowsy and nauseated if I don't have a 3 course meal with it.  The ergotamine says take it an hour before you think you might have one?  I take it at night and go figure, I have them at 4am.  I am done ranting, I am just relieved I have found Clusterville.  I was wondering around in sounds-like-you-have-migrainesville and don't-be-a-wimp-suck-it-upville.

Thanks Jimi.  Wasn't sure what to ask for specifically.  Hopefully I can find the right combination.
