My first memory is as a child at about 13 yrs old, I started getting them about once a month till I was about 23 and then they stopped, they came back in 92 and I have been plauged with them since. I seem to have all the symptoms ever mentioned with them and nothing has ever been effective. I have been to neuro people and headache clinics, and I have to say that it has been a long road trying to find some help. I suffer with these headaches 2 to 3 times a day and feel like it will never end, it often feels like anything else in the world would be less pain than a cluster.... and then it goes away. I alway know that it will be back soon, but to tell the truth they never really go away after a bout has started. I guess that is all the stress I have worrying about the next one.
Thanks for some positive information, and some hope.
