Hello,
My name is Bonnie, I have just been diagnosed with Cluster Im really glad I found you.... I now feel like I'm not alone! Thanks,
Headaches 3 weeks ago. I have never in my life had so much pain.
I think I would rather go thru child birth all over again.
The first time I visited the Dr. he gave me Percocet
it only made me feel like a zombe the next day, Its hard enough to exist the next
day with CH, but with Percocet
Then 2 weeks ago he put me on Amitriptyline, this did work for the following
4 days, then again came the Brutal Headache. I have found that booze will make it worse, so thats out.
I have also found that dairy products such as ice cream seem to make it worse.
Now, as of today, the Dr. has givin me a beta blocker and ordered an oxygen, to use during the attacks.
Have any of you tried this? Does it work? How about the Beta Blocker? I am 41 years old, and never had a problem
with headaches till this last 4 weeks... and it has been brutal.
Bonnie
