Hey Not-so-Rare,

Welcome aboard.  You've come to the right place.  Many of us have been in your shoes at one time or another with respect to cluster headaches so you're not alone in your thinking or feelings. 

The important thing to understand at this point is you don't need to think or feel this way and that there are things you can do to help regain control of the situation and have a much better quality of life in the process.

I've already sent you a PM with some suggestions.  You're going to receive many more from several others when you tell us a bit more about your history with cluster headaches.

Take care and hang in there.

V/R, Batch

Hi rare,

As a side note to Joes post.....with your Oregon location, you should find it very easy to locate and procure a supply of "alt meds" if you should decide to try that route.

Welcome Home!!
