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.
