Hi guys checking in again,
Was pain free for 4 days then 4am wake up call followed by 3 attacks each for the next two days., then another 3 days pain free and yep, another attack. I'm searching for the triggers but cannot put my finger on it. Still on the Benadryl and the 50000 d3 loading, not sure what else to try.?
Hey guys just an update, been on Benadryl for 3 days and been pain free for 2 days still have moderate shadows but have avoided the o2. So far so good....
Thank you for the info I didn't know about the dental stuff I will carefully consider what to do if any work is needed.
i will try to get some energy shots and give it a go
thanks again for the info
Mike
Thanks mate, yes this is the one. I am loading and taking all the vitamins listed.
i have tried the energy drinks in the past as well as strong coffee but without the o2 and don't think they made any difference, in the last few days just the o2 seems to abort the attacks within 10-15 min.
The sumatriptans I have used in the past are the nasal spray (20mg) doesn't seem to help, Fast dissolving tablet (50mg) taking 2 at the start of attack seems to help a lot. My attacks went from 1.5-3hrs to 30 min with this alone. I have also had some 100mg tablets and one seemed to do the same result.
one question that I would like to ask anyones opinion on is, do you think that a tooth cavity on the side that the pain is could be a trigger, I am considering having a tooth removed thinking that this may be the reason this years treatments aren't working.
I have had a tooth removed as a mis diagnosis a few yrears before being diagnosed with CH and the pain instantly went for that season once the tooth was removed.
With the neuro I am waiting to see another one and hopefully get a more professional level of care.
Thanks for you time
Mike
Hi guys,
This is my first time ever writing on a blog, so bear with me.
I have had episodic Cluster headaches for about 15 years usually starting around March/April and lasts for about 8 weeks.
My neuro usually gives me a injection of methylprednisolone in the back of my head with 70% success in stopping the attacks for that season, the other 30% of the time I take prednisolone tablets starting at 75mg for 2 weeks then weening off.
This year I have had 2 injection and have been on the tablets up to 100mg and have been having headaches every day/night with a break (headache free) of 3 days every other week.
I have presented to the ED twice for oxygen, the first time in an ambulance and was left in waiting room until attack was over.
I have recently been introduced to a fellow cluster head who has been pain free for 18 months after taking a vitamin regime. I have started this also now for about 2 weeks but the attacks have not changed.
He also had lent me his oxygen which has helped a lot with the intensity and duration of the attacks (Thanks Mark)
I am trying to get to see another neuro who may have some more experience with CH as mine doesn't seem to be very interested and tells me I may grow out of it.
I hope that soon I will be pain free but I until then any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
Mike
