hi guys
well where do I begin I had my first attack in 1995
after receiving vaccines in the air force. the clusters where episodic for years then in 2003 they turned chronic and have remained I have at least 2 per day and at certain times of the year I have as many as 7. as far as drugs It seems I've taken them all at one time or another verapamil , steroids, imetrex
after three years on o2 it stopped working. I've done
, thc
pills I can't even remember all the drugs I've taken over the years I even saw a quack who said I had CPH and gave me large doses of indomethacin till it gave me a GI bleed.
I spent $1000. on a chiropractor. I tried the easy way out
once (suicide) but I didn't succeed. my wife has walk twice and came back. so here I sit 8 years
later just surviving not living. right now I'm taking Ritalin and I know I'm addicted to oxycodone.
I'm not sure why I'm writing I guess I just wanted to share I'm not looking for sympathy or help
most of the time I just want to be left the hell  alone. oh yeah I'm 51 years old and felt my first
attack when I was 35 if you would have told me this was my future I would have said get F. k out[color=#0000ff][/color]

What Joe said, and then some! I get it. And I get the turmoil this thing causes in your life. You've been alone with these things for far too long. And like you, as a 24 year vet of CHs, I thought I had tried everything, until I found this site. It isn't so much that there is something new, but new methods and new info on proper dose levels. For example, when I first started verpamil, 240mg/day was the limit. Now, we find for CHs, that's actually quite low. The dose can go as high a 960mg/day for effective treatment. Same with O2. 15lpm was tops, now we find 25-60lpm works best. Check your pm's. I'm sending you my cell phone number. Call if you just need to talk, OK? Blessings. lance
