Hey Lori,
Here's the basic regimen and dose from Costco that worked well for me and many others:
START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

If you can't get to Costco, look for name brand vitamin D3 in 5,000 IU strength, Citracal Plus, and any name brand Omega 3 Fish Oil.
The last thing to pick up is some Centrum Silver or Safeway brand Century Senior 50 + Formula. Both should contain the vitamin A and vitamin K. If your husband takes one of these a day he can drop back to one of the calcium citrate or Citracal tablets.
Several CH'ers have found the fastest way to a pain free response to this regimen was to double the vitamin D3 daily dose to 20,000 IU/day with a once a week loading dose of 50,000 IU for the first month (that works out to 190,000 IU/week vitamin D3) or until they experienced a complete cessation of cluster headache symptoms for at least 48 hours, whichever occurs first then drop back to the 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 maintenance dose.
Remember to ask for the 25(OH)D lab test when your husband sees the neurologist
Take care and Please keep us posted.
