Hello, first time posting anywhere... I'm experiencing a cluster that is lasting longer than normal with few signs of abating. My clusters usually last about 10 weeks. I treat them with heavy doses of verapamil, O2 and naratriptan. I usually take the naratriptan an hour before my usual hit, which changes gradually throughout the cluster, but now I am taking it twice a day, 12 hours a part. I've been having clusters for 17 years, and this one is now going on 12 weeks...
Is this a bad year for clusters for anybody else? I do not know if I'm going chronic; I do have some fears about it, but I cannot predict the future and don't try to. It doesn't really matter, I guess, because I would treat things the same way anyway. I take it one headache at a time and enjoy the times in between... I'm looking forward to this cluster being over because I have a backpack trip planned for September.
