Sub Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago New episode started 2 weeks ago. Worst one since my onset in 2022. Attacks are painful and becoming more frequent. Yesterday was 4 in one day, with #2 being the worst of all time. Persistent shadow ever since. My neurologist - who is on ClusterBuster’s recommended list - wants to start me on Verapamil and home Oxygen. My only treatment is sumatriptan nasal spray, but after yesterday I’m ready for injections. Very open to trying O2. I’m wary of Verapamil as my episodes are infrequent and I’m concerned about feeding into some kind of rebound cycle. I’ll discuss this with my neurologist, but wondering if anyone has first-hand experience to share regarding Verapamil usage for infrequent (1-3wk per yr) episodes. I don’t want to poke the bear that hibernates almost all year… thank you for any insight, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
