Sorry you're having such a rough time of it. That is scary how much Imitrex you're taking, but I completely understand why. My husband used Imitrex pills years ago with good results at first, other than it did make him feel sick and made his heart race. But his Beast quickly got smart to his new plan of attack and he built up an immunity to it.
Now, he's using oxygen as an abortive instead and it works about 80% of the time. Have you checked into using it? If you hit the "medications" button on the left of this board, there is lots written there about oxygen therapy.
Also, read what has been written about the mushrooms treatments. It's having amazingly positive results. We have also had success using the Water Treatment. My husband is entering his 13th month of remission - can you say "YeeeeHAW"?
And, as an aside, it does my little supporter's heart good to see so many positive responses from other supporters to this thread. Good job, ladies - keep up the good work!!
Steve, stay with us - hopefully we'll find you something that works for you. And check out the links to join OUCH - the Organization to Join Cluster Headaches. It's an awesome cause.
