It is so painful, I know when it's about to be over when my right nostril lets a small stream of mucous come out slowly.

I'm truly annoyed by people saying migraines and clusters are the same. They are not. Cluster headache sufferers get hand-me-downs from migraine sufferers. They are different, and the treatments must be different.

Cluster Headache runs wild at no time is it LINEAR which is why there's a bunch of treatments and confusion.

HI IVE BEEN GETTING IT FROM THE AGE OF 6, IM NOW 53 AND IS GETTING VERY BAD, SO I DONT THINK SMOKKING HAS ANY THING TO DO WITH IT.
IVE USED A 100MG TABLET THAT DOES HELP, BUT ONLY FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IM USEING A PRODUCT THAT I HAVE GOT FROM A PRIVATE SUPPLIER, ITS IN LIQUID FORM,
THERE IS NO TABLET THAT CAN STOP IT.IM FIVE DAYS ON THIS LIQUID AND IT TAKES MY PAIN AWAY WITH IN 5 MIN.

100% oxygen for vasoconstriction bad - verapamil bad. movement (exercise) for vasodilation good. heavy breath thru mouth.
