Hi there and welcome to the board.  You will find tons of great information right here on this site, so pull up a chair and get ready to read, read and read some more.  If you have any questions just ask right here and somene will be along shortly to help you out.

Has your boyfriend been diagnosed with CH from a neurologist?  If not he needs to get into a neuro that has some experience with CH.

If indeed he already has been diagnosed I'm sorry to tell you that the naproxen won't do anything to help him.  A lot of CH sufferers first line of defense is oxygen, read the link to left.  My hubby uses O2 with a Optimask (a non rebreather mask) at a flow rate 25lpm.

If the O2 isn't working some use a triptan, such as imitrex or zomig.  However the imitrex and zomig pills are not sufficient as they take to long to work.  Some use the nasal spray or injectables.  My husband uses the imitrex injections if he can't knock the beast down with the O2, but the O2 has been working great and he hasn't used imitrex in a long time.

Then there are preventative meds such as verapamil or lithium.  My husband takes 480mg of regular release verapamil daily.

Last, but not least, as a supporter you must remember to take care of yourself as well.  We can't stay strong for our sufferers if were not getting the rest and relaxation that we need.

I'm sure others will be along with some advice as well.

Hang in there!!!!

Flipper has given you a great start! I'd also suggest you encourage your boyfriend to log on and get active on the board. You won't find a more comprehensive collection of information on CH ANYWHERE! And once he educates himself here, he'll be ready to "assist" his doctor in giving him a treatment program that has a prayer of helping him......unlike his current regimen!

Bless your heart for being a supporter, we don't thank you enough, I'd be lost without my wife....who also found this board for me!
