Cluster Headaches are quite rare and outside the box for most Doctors.

Some top preventative meds:
Verapamil
Lithium
Topamax

Top abortive meds:

Oxygen with NON-rebreather mask at minimum 15LPM flow. Recent research shows 25LPM and higher is much better. Many CH sufferers that said O2 doesn't work have found it does at the higher settings.

Imitrex, injections or inhaler, not the pills.
Zomig
Migranal
DHE-45
Zyrexa
Narcotics- help very few patients

Cluster Headaches are A.K.A. Suicide Headaches, so pls give us that respect.

Don

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the Beast , I have O2 so I fear him not.
