Cluster Headaches
"I&#039;m 46 yrs old and was diagnosed with cluster headaches in my late 20&#039;s. I was prescribed sumatriptan last week due to my new spell which started 2 weeks ago, and the medicine is working great for me. When ones coming on, I take a 50mg pill, and it starts working within minutes. I feel and hear crackling noises in my head, as well as my nasal cavity and eye socket, and miraculously it starts to lift away. In some cases though I had to take a second pill because the first didn&#039;t work completely, but within 30 to 45 minutes I&#039;m relaxed and pain free. Since they&#039;ve taken Cafergot off the market I&#039;ve been without any medicine at all, trying steroids my neurologist experimented with, which didn&#039;t work at all. Sumatriptan is working."
