I have had Clusters since I was 14. after they progresed and got worse, I saw a doctor. I told him of my symptoms and he said it was a migrane. I looked in a book and read about Clusters and asked him. He blew me off and said they only occur in old men who drink a lot. Anyway he gave me Imitrex and told me to take it as soon as a headache happend. So I do. Now I always carry 2 pills with me in my shoe. Yes, my shoe. If my school knew I had them I would be expeled, no questions. One day I forgot my pills and went to the nurse w/ a screamer. She gave me 1 advil and some ice. I told her that I forgot my Imitrex that day. I am supposed to give the pills to the nurse because by the time I get out of class, I'm well intoa h/a and missed what the homework was. Sure enough the next day I was searched by the school security guards. I slipped by cause I had the stuff in my shoe. the sad part is the $$$ Imitrex dosen't even work that well.
To make a long story short i need something that works great and I can be discreete (SP?) about. O2 I haven't tried and would suck haulin' around school.
