Prednisone and Topomax
Dec 1st, 2011 at 10:58am
 
Hey all -

I know it must be slightly annoying to hear the same questions again and again, so...my apologies from another newbie.  I'm tapering off of my Prednisone and still dosing up on my Topomax.  I don't think I've had a CH since Sunday afternoon, so I think my cycle might have ended (I'm hoping).  I'm still having what I would refer to as small, typical headaches, sometimes on the side that my CH were, sometimes on both sides.  Could this be side effects of the meds?  Could this be "the Shadows" I hear about?  Any ideas?  Nonetheless, they are nothing compared to the bad ones, so I'm greatful.  Just trying to figure out what might be going on.  Thanks everyone!

-Justin

Probably shadows. During the early period of developing Cluster our symptoms can be quite unstable. May take months, even years, before you can read your signs of real confidence.
