6 years ago. I was 17 years old. Sorry to hear you joined the club at only 14 years old.
Are you using medication yet? For me O2 and Imigran (believe its called Imitrex in US) are great aborters. Starting on Verapamil, but isn't working yet.
Good luck.
Pfdan,

Hi Owl
First of all welcome to Clusterville.
You are among the best of friends here,and i strongly believe that you can find all the info that you need.
"General Cluster and his beasts"started visiting me in the late 80s.
If i remember correct it took about 4 years from the first attack until i had the diagnose.You have to believe me when i tell you that these 4 years was HELL and only that.
After i found this site i`ve got a new life .We are in it together.
Finally i tell you a little bit of my miraclecure to kill the pain/cycle
I just wont to add my medications for breaking out of cycle.But remember that i`m not a doc,just another clusterhead from Norway
Verapamil Retard 120mgX5-7/daily during cycle
Oxygene alone at 10ltm for 15 minutes or combined with imitrex-shots does miracles.The shots should start working in 6-9minutes.a few secons after that you are almost painfree
Prednisolone in high doze for 10 days 80mg
then over a 3 weeks periode step down like 60-40-30-20-10-5mg /daily
This is the miraclecure for me,but i`m not a doc.just another clusterhead from Norway
Take care my friend
Svenn

*sigh* I also started getting CH when I was 14. It coincided when I also lost my virginity! ;D
Being a strong Catholic, I thought is was a payback from God, but man! she was worth dying for

First real cycle for me started this past New Years week...have not gone more than 2-3 days pain free this year. Looking back, I had several very short cycles starting around the age of 17, but ignored them. To follow up on Slammy's post, unfortunately my cycle always began with sex as a trigger...

Since the beginning of time... At least that's what it seems like. About the only thing I remember real clearly from before like age 12 or thereabouts is the attack I got at school when I was 11. Fun fun fun.

Me, I started @ age 31. A late bloomer of sorts--and for the record I was born in '62. 
But Owl-Baby, Math is good for you even if you deal with large nubmers like Avagadros (6.02x10 to the 23rd) or small numbers like the square root of -1 (yes it does exist--ask any engineer). Math is the power behind Physics and Physics is what explains everything in the universe.
Let's see, you are in 10th grade...a sophomore...;D When you get through calculus you'll understand.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.--TomM--

I read that as a NFW on the Physics. Come on! Where's your sense of adventure? ???
Enough of the philosphy.
Remember you are not alone and the power you have is to educate those around you about CH's.
Now take a close look at Slammy's picture...do you really think he got laid @ 14 ;D (toss me a softball and I'm gonna swing).
Catholic girls start much too late... but when they do start...whoa, Nellie!

1st off Tom...
I can't believe you are discussing Slammy's sex life with a 15 year old!!!! Prevert!
2nd.... She was not a Catholic Girl, Billy Joel... she was (is?)Episcopalian, which is like Catholic-Lite! 
3rd she was 16, ( Slammy liked older women in those days).
4th... You couldn't hit a pitch off of me even if I tossed a basketball to the plate! ;D
You wanna play with the Slammy?
Let's Dance!
Oh and Night_Owl? Cover your eyes!

Slammy-Boy. You brought up your sex life with this young, innocent girl; not I. I merely commented on your boasting. A little sensative, are we???
Trust me---nothing is Catholic-like. Nothing.
Now, back to your points...I don't dance with the male species.
I don't know where you grew up, but we never tossed a basketball to the plate...must be West Virgina style You like it easy just like the farm a n i m a l s. ;D
Hey, take it easy. I'm just busting your chops.
