I agree that I don't think I am taking the right medication. I live in Richmond Virginia and have no idea how to find a doctor who both knows cluster headaches and also will be responsive. Or should I find a General practitioner who is sympathetic and will simply write scripts for the techniques if find on this site. One who will allow me to cycle through all possible solutions until I find the combination that works for me.

I can't help you with finding one (I live in New Zealand) but you really need to find a headache specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis. Once that is done and you've been set up with the right medication for you then you may be able to work with a GP.

There are links on this site to help find a doctor in your area.  You should also call the local medical center or hospital and ask for their headache specialist.  Get an appointment right away, and call for cancellations every day if the appointment is months away.  I had to do this and it paid off big time.  Saved myself months of suffering.

Weum! Sorry you are suffering!

There used to be a list on O.U.C.H (a UK cluster site) but I don't see it anymore. What I did here in NC was email everyone near my area that's listed on the "Where we live" link to the left. I introduced myself and asked who they used and what their experience was with that Dr.  I did get a couple of responses that led me to my neurologist in Winston-Salem. He leaves appts open each week for those that are in cycle and is very open to anything that works. Give that a try!

Best of luck!
Judy

Good Luck

I am here, as well.  I suffered with the beast for 25 years...but am here to tell you that it can 'go away' for whatever reason.  I will tell you what worked for me when I had to deal with it and what my research told me. I hope I can help someone dealing with this horrific problem!
