I have just returned from my first visit to the Doc for CH's in years...He was very understanding and has treated CH's a little before. He gave me a tapering prescription of Predisone for 14 days but the really good news I am excited about is that he also prescribed oxygen and said the insurance would have no problems. Supposed to be delivered in 48 hours..I sure hope so. Cant wait to try! I was a little disappointed though in that he thinks Imitrex is only for migraines and not clusters...although he did say that if I can get to his office with a CH he would gladly try an injection and see if it worked. I also am a little nervous about taking predisone, even for only 14 days. Does it work immediately? Anyone who has tried it let me know your thoughts on it. Once again it is great to be able to talk here to people who understand!!
