Cluster Headaches
No, they're not migraines. If you don't know anything about them, they're basically ten times as short as an average migraine, but also about 15-20 times as painful. Some sufferers literally contemplate suicide and ask others to kill them or knock them unconscious.
Anyway, my girlfriend who I live with gets them, they are REALLY REALLY bad, they affect her almost every day. She's been to one neurologist who seemed to know nothing about it, one GP who absolutely knew nothing about it, she stopped having them (not through the course of any medicine) for a little over a year...but now they've started up again.
These things are like nightmares, and I would do anything to find something that worked for her. She's taken all the usual meds (Frova, Imitrex, etc.) -- but she and I have heard about other remedies. I wondered, if, by some long-shot...someone here was either a sufferer or knew someone who was a sufferer of Clusters and knew of something that gave you or that person some relief.
Any replies welcome. Thanks.
