Welcome Gavin,
I'm north of you in Redding. Nope you certainly are not alone.
Can you tell us little about what the Dr. who diagnosed you has you on? Did he give you a script for Oxygen? What Preventatives and abortives?
Don't be scared...you will learn to control them and we will help with any questions you may have that come up. None of us are Dr.s here, but Collectively I can safely say we have thousands of years of experience in dealing with this.

Dang you're as old as I am, I have a 30 year head start on the head aches though! What Linda said....
Tell us what medications he is giving you, what has and hasn't worked for you in the past, and how you were diagnosed! None of us are doctors so we don't give "medical" advice, we will tell you what has and hasn't worked for us, to arm you with information to take to your doctor.
Also what linda said, you'll never be alone with this stuff again.!!! Welcome to the board.

Hi Gavin, welcome to the board 
What you're called is a clusterhead, but don't let that scare ya. You aren't alone - you're among the family of clusterheads. Let us know more about you and definitely feel free to ask questions. We're all here to help you manage and deal with this.
Again, welcome.

Three glasses of water...where's the can?
Imitrex N/S is too slow and doesn't work all that well. Try the injectors and 02. Or just 02
all the best

Hi Gavin!
Welcome to the family!! Sorry it is under the circumstances that we all share though. Try to share as much info with us as you can and ask as many questions as you can think of so we can help you out as much as possible. This is a great support group here and without everyone here I dont know what I'd do.
I wish the best for you and many Blessings to you!
Tess
