Hi,
I've had clusters for the past 34 or so years. My 22 year old son has had headaches for the past few years. So far, they seem more like migrains than clusters. It breaks my heart to think that I may have passed on this demon to him. As to the reactions to Imitrex injections, none so far, other than a slight tingling or minor burning at the sight of the injection. However, it only occured the first couple of times I "shot up".
The blessed relief it gives me is absolutely worth the minor inconvenience.
Love and pain free days to you and your daughter.
Phil D
