What medication have you tried so far? Have you got a good preventive? Anything to abort CHs? Have you tried oxygen? Imitrex? Where in the world do you live? The more you tell us the more we can help.

Welcome to the board. Please feel free to get really wordy with your next post! Wink

Give us details about where you live, what meds you've tried, like I said, feel free to be wordy as all get out. Have you had a chance to work with a headache specialist neurologist? We see better results from them as most GP's know little about CH, and your garden variety neuros are not much better.

Glad you found us, hoping we can help you.

"Somebody had to say it" is usually a piss poor excuse to be mean.

Yes...please DO let us know where you live like Bob Johnson said above. If you go to the link he gave you, it will explain why.

but pills are not helping at all

If the pills you refer to are Imitrex pills then I can certainly see why they're not helping at all. The pills are good for Migraines which last a lot longer than a cluster headache does, but for us, we need faster relief such as the injections or nasel spray provides. By the time the pills get into the blood stream and start to work...the headache is going away on it's own.
