Hi, I'm Richard. I live in the ~~Netherlands~~ ~~USA~~ ~~Germany~~ Netherlands. New to this site not to CH.

Had a 'jam session' with our friend just a couple of weeks ago, all is quit right now. I've had an intermission for over 2 years and I was some sort of, yes it's weird, longing for it. And lo and behold there it was. I went from

and then the rest of the day to Sad

(every day - 2 weeks long).

After a visit to the local doctor he prescribed Imigran nosespray and luckily for me that gives much relief!

This 'session' was very different though. Did I use to having a single attack with a day rest in between, this time there were multiple attacks every day! Not very nice when you can only use the nosespray once a day!!!

So, there's a bit of me and my CH. I wish yinz much strength during an attack and speedy relief!

ps. the one that invented this pain should be shot... Tongue

The medical literature is reporting that multiple uses per day is not a problem as long as you don't have some pre-existing heart problems. Your doc is being very (excessively??) cautious.

HERE ARE TWO MAJOR DOCUMENTS WITH RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS FOR CLUSTER HEADACHE, ONE FROM A U.S. PHYSICIAN, THE SECOND FROM EUROPE.
