Cluster Headache and flying

Posted by Todd (209.46.18.244) on May 25, 2000 at 17:40:29:

I don't think I suffer from cluster headaches, but no other place describes the amount of pain I feel often when flying (landing). Does anyone have any information on what I can do so I no longer have fear flying? The pain is crippling, Iend up in the fetal position trying to push my hand through my eye into my skull, staggering off the plane, sitting and crying for 20 minutes after landing...does anyone know a cause or a solution? Please please help
