I’m a sufferer as you are and have the cluster for almost 20 years.
I’m not a doctor and the advise I’ll give here is “just” a personal experience.
To make a very long story short, just recently I contacted a neurologist, had a meeting and she gave me Verapamil. Since I take 3 times a day 40mg of this harmless medicament I do not have any attacks at all!
No attack, not even a single little pain, even though I am in a strong cluster phase.
Of cause I don’t know if this will work out for you, but give yourself a try!
I would appreciate if someone could report such a success story to me after you tried it.
All the best, Uli
