Good for you that you have found a cure for what ails you. From your original post, it sounds like you have found a cure for YOUR migraines. The symptoms you described here and in the guest book do NOT sound like the ones suffered by cluster people.
The people on this website suffer exclusively from clusters. Not migraines. Many of them have been diagnosed as being migraine sufferers and given the drugs for migraine that do NOT cure or even control clusters. For that reason, "migraine" is almost a dirty word here.
There is also a hypersensitivity here to people expounding on "cures" for something for which they know there is no known universal cure. There are cures for other maladies, such as migraine, but so far no one has found a cure for clusters. There has been lots of discussion here about beta blockers and how they can actually have adverse effects on clusters, especially those who are taking other cluster medication.
Perhaps this explains to you why you are finding so many negative responses to your posts.
I do believe that there is a similar forum for migraine sufferers and I'm sure there are lots of sufferers there who would gladly take your experiences and successes to their doctors. Have you thought of visiting that forum?
No need to respond. Really.
