A friend from OUR web-site has asked me to post some news for OUR cluster sufferers in Spain. OUR friend has found a doctor that truly understands Cluster Headaches. The doctor’s name is Dr. Miguel Balcells Ariba. He is a neurologist from Barcelona, Spain. The doctor has worked with Dr. Peter Goadsby and helped research Cluster Headaches.
Tony Genovese has visited with Dr. Ariba. The doctor has prescribed, D-Urbason (Cortisone) (40mg/viles), to help break Tony’s Cluster cycle.
He injects this medication as follows:
Day 1) 2 viles in the morning
1 vile in the afternoon
Day 2, 3 and 4) 1 vile every 12 hours for three days
Day 5 and 6) 1 vile every 24 hours for 2 days
Again, Tony asked that I relay this information to OUR Cluster friends in Spain that may have had a hard time in finding a doctor to help ease their pain. Please remember that I am not a doctor. Just a Cluster guy helping another Cluster guy pass on some information about Cluster Headaches.
