Michell,
Have your doctor check you for temple aritis (probably mispelled). That sounds a whole lot like the symptoms of it. After the MRI, they can rule out a lot of things and a sedimentation rate can rule out some others.

You don't really sound like you're having classic clusters, but we all have differences. I couldn't tell - is your pain centered on one side. That's usually a good sign of Clusters. Also the sinus on one side runs and you feel like pulling your eye out of it's socket.

The not-having-them-while-you're-alseep is the part that doesn't sound like Clusters. Usually they'll wake you up from a sound sleep. Temple auritis hits when you wake up. Ask your doc about that. You didn't say how old you were. TA doesn't usually hit anyone under 65 or so.

Good luck,

Hugs BD
