Hi xfZhu,

You'll learn a great deal about your disease in reading this website. Lots of information in the ClusterBuster Files (http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=files), which is a good place to start. Asking and answering questions in this forum will give you specifics. Thanks, xfZhu, for joining our forum.

Welcome! We're glad to have you, but hate that you have to be here.

Read all the Clusterbuster files like Ron said, they'll make things a lot easier.

Prednisone is NASTY, with busting, you should be able to avoid it.
