hello, my name is scott and i have been suffering from clusters since 1998. I was 25 years old when i had the first attack. Mine seem to go in one year cycles.It's been 3 weeks into this episode and now i'm getting 3 to 5 clusters a day. Imitrex and O2 seemed to be helping but the last few attacks were so bad i was throwing up. I don;t know how much more i can take. It's so hard to do anything, You don't want to leave the house beacause what if you get one, what then? You just can't lock yourself up in a room for 7 or 8 weeks. I had an attack today at work and had to leave, I don't think anybody at work really understands, i know they think am just a little whimp. If they could feel the pain for just 10 seconds they would never say anything again.Well thanks for listening, I feel i little better. I'm 29 years old, Does anybody know the possibilty of this crap going away for good at a certain age?
