I have been taking pred's for about 6 months now, at first they were briliant, they were prescribed by a specialist as a short term solution, and should not be taken for longer than 8 weeks. As the months have passed, they are becoming less effective. Does anyone know of a better solution ? I also am putting on loads of weight. I have tried most things, zomig imigran, etc etc, do you know of any new offerings on the market.
I was told by the 'specialist that the clusters usualy pass in a few weeks, I have been in this one since Oct 2000, and average at least 2 bad attacks a day, I am desperate to try anything new on the market that may offer a possible solution.
Keep the faith
