I started getting CH about the age of 15-16. I dealt with them all through H.S. and College not knowing what they were. I finally went to a neurologist about them and he prescribed something- forget what it is, it isnt even made anymore. It used to cause intense nausea, so i never took it anyway. Because of personal reasons I went on the Pill. Ever since (about 5 years ago) I have not had a Cluster headache as severe as before. I sometimes get tinges of ones the week I take the placebos, but thats it. I don't know the explanation about why the pill took them away, but it did! Amen!
