My headaches are back after 4 years. it's been almost a month. It seems stress can trigger my attacks. I tried Sumatripan both as a tablet and an injection without any relief. I am on oxygen as needed and a 15 day course of Prednisone and my attacks are down to occasional light attacks. I did notice sinus discharge down the back of my throat for a few days after starting Prednisone but that has stopped as well. I was diagnosed 25+ years ago with an extra sinus cavity that had gotten infected and would not drain. Those headaches were very similar. I think this might be the underlying cause for the pressure on the nerve associated with all this pain. Steroids can be harmful over a long period. My sister was on them for a couple of years for exposure to a deadly disease while a nurse and has had 5 hip replacement surgeries over the last 40 years all related to the drug attacking her hips. There was little known then about the long term effects. Hope this is helpful to someone.
