Andrew,
I never know what to say to someone so young who's been suffering so long. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones who "will" outgrow them.
My son has migraines and I really never had much sympathy with him (because I never had a headache until I hit 50) until after I got CH. Now I have a lot more sympathy for him when he's hurting.
Find a good neuro and talk to him and "make" him talk to you. You are not a hypocondriact so don't let them treat you like one. O2 and Imitrex are good. So is DHE and cafagot. Do some research on this board and go to the doctor well armed with "facts" and new meds. Most docs don't have a clue what's going on with CH.
GOod luck to you. Stay on this board. It's the only one dedicated to nothing but clusters.
Hugs BD
