Your energy drink does not matter as long as it contains a mixture of caffeine and taurine ( and maybe guarana). I prefer Monster Zero. There are some other ones that taste more like juice. Don't forget ice water. In a pinch, you can drink a glass of ice water through a straw, aiming the cold water at the roof of your mouth on the side you are having your attack. This induces a brain freeze, which feels better than a cluster, and reduces the pain a little bit for a few minutes. I know that trick sounds stupid, but I read it somewhere on this forum. I was out with some friends one night and got separated from my O2 tank. I might of drank 3 gallons of water that night, but I was able to fight the beast for a few hours while I wished my friend farewell. I think of that trick as the hand-to-hand combat of fighting the beast, armed with a pocket knife. I can get in some strikes, but I am just buying time until I can call in the air strikes.

Hi 81007 and LKD06. And welcome to you both. I am at a loss why pills are being prescribed for clusters? They take too long to work for most people. If you get the injections you get much faster relief and you can take less than the standard auto-injector dose by monkeying with the stupid pen. Vials are much better. I don't think you are making a mistake in avoiding the meds if you can LKD06. There are other options that can help you. The D3 Regimen, energy drinks, etc. Sorry, I am not up to speed on your history. This community is working to solve the issue of no O2 for Medicaid or Medicare. There is a meeting in DC to bug the government to fix this horrible injustice. We call it Headache on the Hill. ATB
