Jun 9^th, 2011 at 12:54pm I was reading a post on ClusterBusters and saw one where someone mentioned the feeling of euphoria he gets after an attack ends. I had never put it into words, but I get that too. Anyone else?

See, it's quite the opposite for me, after I survive an attack unmedicated, i feel completely exhausted, and my immediate thoughts turn to when the next one comes. I am in a cluster right now, and these have possibly been the worst I have had in years. I have shadows all day long, and can't feel anything other than pure fear between attacks...euphoria doesn't exist here...

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”

My experience has been not so much euphoria as burnt and damaged feeling brain.

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.

That's how I feel as well. Since mine normally come at night and last until 3-4 AM, my first priority is just trying to fall asleep so I can get some in before the next one comes on. The only things I feel are stress from the lack of sleep, exhaustion from the pain and dread for the next attack.

Reply #11 - Jun 17^th, 2011 at 3:02pm Early in the cluster, first four or five days say, I get totally completely HIGH post-HA. But sadly, that wears off and I'm just left feeling exhausted and dreading the next.
