Howdy!
I just found this place and just found out I have been a Clusterhead for over 20 years (thought I was a Deadhead but what did I know?)
I went throught he usual several years of misdiagnosis, including almost undergoing sinus surgery for "chronic infections" but chickened out...
I had been cluster free for six or seven years now and thought they were behind me... unfortunately my demon has found me again :(
At the time of my last period we didn't have the net and access to all this great information available - and certainly no place like this where at least I can find some solace in knowing that I do not suffer alone.
Imitrex is new to me - sounds like the life saver I was begging for years ago! I am finding me a neuro Monday and get up to speed! I can only imagine that the insurance game is worse than it was years ago - but I do remember buying welder's oxygen because it was a lot cheaper than the medical stuff - any of you buying your own may want to look into that as an alternative...
Anyway, as much as I may regret being back in the "family" I am glad that you guys are here...
