I have had periodic cluster headaches for 20 years. They seem to be related to changes in environment. On two occasions when moving to Denver I was afflicted in the spring following the move. The recent attacks caused me to go to the local Pain and Headache Clinic. They prescribed prednisone (20mg) 4 times a day for 4 days. In addition, they presribed Veraoamil (120 mg) twice a day for 15 days starting at the same time as the prednisone. My headaches stopped almost immediatly. Only two occurances in the 15 days, but now seem to be gone entirely. I am still cautious and if I feel a cluster coming on a ice pack puts it away in a minute, that is if it was actually a cluster coming on. Thought this might be helpful to some.
