this is a long road

Thank you for this sight but I am concerned that this is going to continue to be a very long road.  I suffered years ago without any treatment and they just went away.  Now it is back...almost daily, several times a day.  I take Topamax, Verapamil for preventing which is not working.  Then when it begins Axert and phenergan.  I see my PCP tomorrow.. I hope for a referral to a neuro...

Welcome to the family.

Some of us are finding out that hormone imbalance can play a significant role in some peoples clusters.

Oxygen is still the first line of defence in aborting an incoming cluster headache.

Talk to your doctor about both of these.

Thanks for the replies.  Looks like O2 is the way to go....and the referral to neuro.  RE:  hormone related, I am post-menopausal for nine years now, so nothing has changed there.  Good suggestion, tho. Pete thank you again for sending the O2 specifics!!
Off to PCP today, goal get the neuro referral to get O2 RX!!

Huh
