Found this website and felt so bad for so many people. I know what you are going through. I had headaches cluster and migraines for 10 years. The last two years were daily. I was on the couch daily and was miserable. Didn't go anywhere. Then I went to Michigan Neurological & Headache Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Joel Saper runs the clinic. I saw him and he did the normal EEG etc and put in on a preventive. I was a different person in three days. I was off the couch and my little daughter thought I had a miracle cure. I did. Medication is: "inderal". It is a heart medicine but it controls my blood vessels in my head from contracting and expanding that causes my headaches. That was 19 years ago. I am still on the medication and I am still great. Another medication that I have heard of that works for my aunt is "amitryptiline" daily of course. She is great also.
Good luck to all. Would love to hear from anyone if this works. Also, Dr. Joel Saper has written a few books on headaches. I haven't read them because he cured me in 3 days. I was lucky finally after 10 years.
