My DH has had a CPAP for years and it did nothing for his cluster headaches.

I'm glad you found something that helps you.

I recently noticed that when I use my CPAP machine (which I haven't been as diligent as I should have been) I get fewer night time hits.  BUT, this is new.  In the past, it made no difference.

I have tested this several times, and I do get fewer hits while using the CPAP, so I now use it every night, and if I take a nap, during the day, I use it then too.

I have no idea why it is making a difference now, and in the past, it never did.

Glad to hear that you are finding SOMETHING to help you!
