capt scotty Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Alright I'm not sure why but maybe my cycle has ended or testosterone is a magic bullet. I am still tapering off prednisone. which did give me relief but still had pretty heavy shadows. I get this shot on Thursday and all of the sudden on Saturday it just feels like all shadows and everything are gone. So i push my luck and go offshore fishing in the sun and heat all day. I'm still feeling great!!! So my wife has friends over that night and i clean up the catch from that day and have a great evening with friends knowing that the beast is gonna strike because i have just taunted it with triggers. Sleep like a baby and wake up feeling awesome!!! Way to early to make an assumptions but I am enjoying no head pain. I hope it's just that easy for me to control these. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What kind of shot did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt scotty Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Testoterone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoxieGirl Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah, I'm quite sure the two are linked. I believe low testosterone = more clusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt scotty Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 I discussed this with the neuro who said if he keeps episodic clusterheads above 900 during cycle it aborts the cycle. With chronics he has to maintain them at that level all year. I'm really glad to have walked into his office as he does really seem to know alot about these. If the side effects are feeling younger and a bit of muscle build i'm ok with that.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiseppi Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 If you're bored, there's a LENGTHY post on the other board, clusterheadaches.com, about testosterone therapy. Under the medications board, "Why don't we pay attention to this" is the title. Very effective for many, useless for many! Kinda the nature of the beast. From what this link pointed out, it certainly is worth having it checked. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt scotty Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Day 5 no pain, no shadows nothing. Even tried a few triggers like full day at the beach. A late night into the morning fishing trip. I may be the lucky one that this works on. I feel awesome!! even out of cycle i would normally trigger one with a change in sleep pattern or a sunny day at the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
