Hello,
My name is frank and I have just found this forum. I have had cluster headaches for 13 years. They just started again on Labor Day but this is this first time since feb 2012. The longest I have ever gone without pain. They seem to have come back extra painful this time. I guess they are making up for lost time.

Hi and welcome Frank

Well done on finding these forums, you've found a place full of people who really understand CH as we either get CH or support someone with it. So we won't be suggesting you take an aspirin or lie down or anything similar.

Are you working with a headache specialist?

Do you have an effective preventive, something like verapamil or lithium to cut down how many CHs you get?

Have you got any abortives, like oxygen or injectable imitrex, to kill off any CHs you get?

Tell us more about how you deal with your CHs and we can probably give you some hints and tips. Plus read up all you can and ask any questions you have.

I've copped some Labor Day headaches in the past, too, but usually not until the day after.
