Gammacore

Hi 

 

I am an ECH sufferer and have been for over 40 years. I manage the condition reasonably well using imigran injections and oxygen. I have started a new cycle of headaches and rejoined OUCH. I can see since my last episode (4 years ago) there is a new treatment, called GAMMACORE; and I want to try this as an addition to my meds

How do I access this device etc?? Presumably it is via my neurologist; I have just asked my GP to be referred to Dr Silver at Walton in Liverpool, however this will take time unfortunately. Does anyone know of a private nerologist I can pay and see that will discuss with me how to use Gammacore? I will travel to any part of the UK but I do live near Manchester, in Wilmslow.

Phone the company and they might tell you of a neurologist in your are that has the devices they can issue.  I saw my headache nurse and it was prescribed that day and delivered the next day. 40 days in and only 1 headache & no injections. Working for me so good luck.

Hi friend I have a gamma core device I got on trial about 2 years ago. Unfortunately for me it did not even touch the pain or stop any attacks coming on as I suffer chronic CH. Anyway if I'm not breaking any medical laws then I would gladly post it to you. It may work it may not but anything is worth trying regarding CH.
