HI..im jer .. since i first posted on this board i have recieved a few very nice e-mails (and would like to thank those who welcomed me) .. i have been having episodic clusters for about 10 years now.. all this time i thought it was just the family sinus deal (we're all screwed that way) but after a friend sent me here to this site i realized something the Dr didnt..so i switched docs..(to one who was also a clusterhead) & he confirmed my condition..and put me on maxalt and or imetrex pills..it seems to help. BUT.. he tells me there is a high risk of heart problems or stroke.. i have not seen anyone here discuss that. (and my fucked up insurance wont cover but 6 pills per month).. at 17 bucks a piece.. well...im screwed anyways..ive seen the pages on the shroom deal..and i will try this i figure..what the hell..worst thing that happens...i trip balls..lol ummm.. i do have a serious question for yall tho.. when im having the usual 2am #9 .. my clusterside hand goes numb..do any of you have the same thing goin on ?... thanx & have a nice day... jer
