I was just told by my doctor today that cluster headaches were what I have. I came home and got on the net to see what I could find. There is more information about this. I didn't even know that it exists until today. I have been having cluster headaches for the past month now which from what I have read is a short time, but it scares me that this is what I will be dealing with this and more for a long time. I was given some new medicine called Amerge and Propranolol. I took it and two hours later had a headache. This is all new to me and I don't quite know what to do about this. My headaches only last about 30 seconds to two minutes. but I will have up to fourteen of them a day. The pain is so bad. There are people out there go through this for hours at a time. I am looking for ways to prevent the headaches from coming on by the food that I eat. I have been told to stay away from nuts, chocolate, and berrys. From things that I have read tonight there is also bread, milk, fruits, and caffeine. Does anyone know if there is a diet to follow that will help?
