I know that I can deal with this mentally because I have small children and have no choice. But it takes such a toll on my body and it leaves me exhausted! I sometimes even have bruises on my head and face from holding it so tightly. I have found that amerge works for about 3 hours with me. My headaches come in spurts and get really BAD in a matter of minutes, sometimes lasting for HOURS! Then just when it subsides and I can relax a little , it hits me again! Has anyone tried the new migraine ice patches that go on your head, and if so do they work for clusters? I have tried applying heat and it made it WORSE! I am having a BAD ONE right now......help.....
