Clint...Sorry, to hear about the diagnosis but welcome to a great wealth of information. I am chronic..a mere 17 mos. to others. I am an Rn, who managed an urgent care for the first 7 mos. of these monsters. It is truly difficult. Never give up hope. I am glad to here that you went to Mayo. I also headed to Rochester for several consults. They are extremely professional. Check out some of the posts. Oxygen, Imitrex, and calcium channel blockers are great first line drugs for most. Potential others include Lithium, Depakote, Neurontin and on. Ritalin is promising for many. It hasn't erradicated mine; but has decreased the frequency and intensity. Unfortunately, time and trial / error are the trademarks. Utilize us...we all understand. Wishing you the best, irene
