The pain gets better and worse, but I can't remember the last time I had a "clear" head, going on 7 weeks. I feel "cloudy" all the time, almost like a light concussion. That's the best way I know how to describe it. I've been keeping a log of my headaches based on strength going anywhere from 3 to 7, but there is always something there. I haven't been able to discern a pattern yet of when it gets better or worse, or what may trigger. I know this "constant" state of having it, as well as the fact that it switches sides is atypical, but I also have other very typical signs (locale of pain behind eye, heavy facial sweatting on one side, different sized pupils). I also have two doctors (GP and a neurologist) who are not very knowledgable about cluster headaches at all. I have another appointment to see a different neurologist. I went through my whole file with my GP, and although I don't remember it, there is a note in his file about me sweatting on one side over 2 years ago. I have had miserable headaches for years, and with some frequency, but nothing like I'm going through now. In the past, I had attributed some of these to stress. Now, the HA are causing more stress than they are being caused by. I have to go see my GP tomorrow, and I'll ask him about Imitrex.
