Hi,
I have suffered with CH's for over 16 years. Been the whole gamut of fixes including going to the mIchigan Headache Institute where they finally diagnosed me correctly. Anyway, I have been 2 and a half years since my last attack (a record) and last night, low and behold, woke at 3 am knowing I am in the cycle again. I am thinking that b-4 Imitrex the cycle did not seem to last as long. Are any onf you thinking Imitrex is great for abortive means but spreads the sycle longer? Also, has anyone tried the device that a web site is touting that you wear on your head for a minute to stimulate your circulation and muscle tone? Does it really work or is it a rip off? Has anyone tried smoking reefer to help? Have not done that since the 70's but am willing to look at anything to make this cycle end/shorter. Thanks for any helpful feedback, I know that the next month or so will be a killer.
