Okay, I gotta ask, but perhaps its a stupid question:
 
One of the most defining characteristics of cluster headaches (for some) is their predictability.  I have to wonder, given that narcotics are ineffective because of the amount of time they take to work, can one preempt a CH by taking something before it sets in?  
 
For instance, for the past few weeks I have gotten a headache at 9:00 am, almost like clockwork (probably 5 out of 6 days or so).  If one takes something (say vicidin or excedrin) at 8 is there reason to believe the headache will not hurt as much?  Just wondering.  Thanks.  

 
 
On your question, my experience with narcotics are that they will increase the duration of your hit plus add to the scale of your pain.

I thought that was the most disturbing thought in the thread.

It is posssible to fear not feeling pain. After a while of being chonic, "NORMAL" means being in pain, and being pain free is abnormal. The really sad thing is, I can almost relate to that comment. I live in a contradiction. I pray for pain free days and quake in my boots when I get them because I am afraid how bad the "day after" is going to be.
