I have asked the above question hoping for answer, I have read the internet, had GNOB & multi blocks, at my last count I had tried 58 various tablet and postions. The last DHE lasted about a week when I seen my nerologist he told me quite simply there was nothing more he could do but give me DHEs. The only book I found useful was ........ P, which I have read over and over that has got me thinking about my life in general in another way will I last another 10/15 years or can I find another way out ?. There is many ways you can think about the beast, or you can sleep.

Brian I am too at the end of the meds only one that worked was merthyserglide and that was taken of the market not long after i started on it.
which leaves ONSI or DBS not keen on them, but at bad times I often have 2nd thoughts, yesterday was my first free cluster day of 2014 but was intensly restless all day so only just escaped a cluster.
We have just got to learn to cope, no matter how bad you are or feel there are always many others with medical conditions far worse than ours [eg look at the poor fellow this week on the news lost both legs, an arm and lips to a bad infection caught via a cold]

Permalinkbrain thanks for the feedback
brain thanks for the feedback on ONSI I dread operations and read so many mixed views on both ops it scares me off asking for them.
I know exactly how you feel they get me so down at times too.

PermalinkBrian, I do know how you have
Brian, I do know how you have suffered over the last few years. I know how old you are so take some comfort in the fact that in all probability the attacks will finish, just cant say when. There are a few treatments you havent had. More information on one of them will come out at Shrewsbury.

PermalinkBrian - I am late to this
Brian - I am late to this thread and I'm so sorry to hear how much you are suffering. I do hope you ring the helpline - you never know, there just might be something they can suggest that you haven't yet tried and having a chat to someone who completely understands can't hurt. All the best to you.
