I had a great two years as far as my clusters went! I was on Neuronyin and verapmil plus imitrex for abortive. They never really took my clusters away but kept my clusters to one a day then one every other day. Over the last two years I have had to play with the doses. I did get a few months off and that was great. The pain has been kept to a 5 and under.
I been getting hit harder and harder.
Today was a bad day. I got hit twice both a ten I use a thired imitrex shot most of the time but today I used a whole. I got hit again and it was a 10 fast and strong not much warning. I knew I had used a whole imitrex so I had to ride this one out, It has been about two years since I had a cluter last more than a hour but this one lasted three hours. I had to call Buddy to come home and take care of the baby, even tho the baby was no trouble he slept right through it.I usually rock when I have one but I swear I wanted to just roll on the floor. My the thired hour I said to hell with this I grabed my imitrex and took another whole shot. Finally I got relief. I been wiped out all evening. Woke up with a shadow so I am not going to lay back down I know better LOL!
If my meds have stopped working what should I take now? I have a good Doctor he leaves things up to me! It looks like its time for me to do some research!
I hope the demon is so bussy with me he leaves all of you alone.
