I don't know what to do....I'm finding the huge amount of posts difficult to get through, archives almost impossible, so I'm sorry it the info I need has been posted at sometimed. The beast laid down, as you know, almost one week ago, after the oddest set of headaches I've ever had. Four days ago, a terrible pain developed in lower part of my "skull", from ear to ear. Nasty, but better than CH. Last night it was excrutiating, so i gulped down a fedw vicodin. 45 minutes after going to sleep, was woken up with a "13". Took an Imitrex spray...didn't touch it, 1 1/2 hrs later took 50mg tablet.........nothing....7 straight hrs of pain, has just gone. Never had Imitrex not work before(in 10 years of using. My husband called our Dr. who says after reading all the lit. I gave him from the site, that I may well have episodic paroxysmal hemicrania as well as CH!!! Is anyone else this F*&#@%G lucky? If so, how do you deal with. I just feel totally broken right now....My Dr is off today, but we are going to his house in a few hours, so would appreciate anything else that you can give me. He told me that on the odd occasion, he has used indomethacin for CH & Migraine???? So glad that you are all there, in what i consider to be a true crisis in my personal battle with this depraved beast.....Judi
