I saw some posts on another site from 2 CH sufferers who claim that they have received relief from using Prozac. I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have tried this and how effective it was. I also wanted to make a statement about something that I have not seen discussed here that I think is important. My husband has had CH's for over 20 years. His neurologist states that CH patients have a higher incidence rate of brain cancers and tumors and he recommends a brain scan every couple of years to keep a check on it. Thought I would pass on this piece of important information. I'd also like to see some discussion from spouses who live with CH sufferers. After reading some of the posts on this site, I think some trading of experiences among those of us living with CH sufferers might be beneficial to help our families learn how to cope with the episodes. CH's certainly affect the whole family. Anything we can do to help our spouses will be beneficial. After living with a CH sufferer for 12 years, I could definately give some pointers. Wishing all of you pain free days. Feel free to email me.
