MY HUSBAND HAS CLUSTER HEADACHS SOMETIME HE CAN GO 6 MONTHS WITHOUT ONE THE WHEN THEY COME BACK THEY COULD LAST UP TO 6 MONTHS HAVING HEAVY PAIN WHEN THE HEADACHS ARE BACK THEY STRICK LIKE EVERY 1-2 HRS. LASTING UP TO 30-45 MIN. I HAVE SEEN HIM ACTUALLY GET ON HI SKNEES AND BEG GOD TO LET HIM DIE,BANG HIS HEAD ON THE FLOOR TRYING TO GET THE PAIN TO STOP, BEGGING ME TO HELP HIM,THIS GUY IS 36 YRS. OLD AND CRIES LIKE A BABY WHEN HE HAS ONE. HE HAS BEEN TO THE DOC. THEY TELL HIM IT IS A BLOOD VESEL IN THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD THAT CLOSES OFF STOPING OXYGEN TO FLOW THOUGH THAT IS WAY THEY CALL IT CLUSTER HEADACHS,RIGHT NOW HE IS ON PREDIZONE, AND HAS TO CARRY A OXYGEN TANK AROUND EVERY WHERE HE GOES HE SAY BREATHING THE OXYGEN DURING A HEADACH HELPS A LITTLE , WHEN HE HAS A ATTACT I CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD THOB TO HIS HIS HEART BEAT, THE DOC. SAYS THEY COULD GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK THE AGAIN THEY MIGHT COME BACK 5 YRS. LATER HE SAYS A CLUSTER HEADACH IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOT DETERMINE HOW AND WHEN THEY WILL ACCURE IT IS SOMETHING I WOULD RATHER NEVER SEE AGAIN IN MY LIFE.
