Hello all,
I am Michel, a French speaking Canadian. I have discovered through this site that I too was a CH sufferer. For a time I tought I was having some kind of a burn out or that my job was somehow killing me, giving me those strange burning headaches mid morning, like a chronometer and in the middle of the night. I have been having those for a few years, three our four, lasting, I don't know, for maybe four to 12 weeks at a time. I was consuming industrial amounts of motrin and decongestants. Finally my doctor precribed Imitrex, and it was while reaserching Imitrex that I found this site and realised by the descriptions that that's what I was suffering from. These days I consult the site once in awhile. I am at this time in a cluster phase. I take megadoses of magnesium and I control the headaches quite successfully with Imitrex. No more than one mild attack a day. I surely hope it does'nt get worse as the time passes at that this bout will end soon.
Good luck to all, and sincere thanks to the inceptor of this great site.
Bonsoir,
Michel, from Quebec.
