Have you seen a Dr yet? If not, get there asap! In the mean time, take the cluster quiz on the left side of your screen, check out the cluster traits and read as much as you can. Print out anything that is pertinant and take it with you. Most MDs are not up to speed on Clusters due to its rarity, so any info you can take along can be helpful. Ask for oxygen. Be sure to get a non rebreather mask and a valve that allows at least 10 to 15 liters per minute. Keep us posted.

Have you seen a Doc? Is this new to you?
Take the Cluster quiz. Eliminate other possibilities. The duration has me curious.
If you're lucky, it's not CH. If not, hang around..you'll be helped. I promise.

First, go talk to your NUEROLOGIST….
Second… if it’s CH, stick around here… there’s lots of great people to love and not-love-so-much…
I hope you don’t have CH… but if you do… you couldn’t have found a better place to land…
Now get to work….

Wow, 9 hours is a long time for a CH.
Have to agree with the above posts.....read the links to the left, take the quiz, but most important....see a neurologist.
Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.

The duration is not typical with CH. Some will argue that nothing is typical with CH, but 9 hours is a long damn time for an attack. It was discussed just a few days ago...Experiencing "the worst headache of your life" can be symptomatic of a life threatening issue. My point, get to a doc...don't wait for a neuro! Get a CT scan and a MRI. If those are clear, come back and take the cluster quiz as previously suggested. Although the location of the pain is common for CH, that doesn't mean it is CH. Migraines can also be unilateral, and there are other ailments that can have similar pain locations.
Are you still here reading? Have you been to the doc yet?? Put the mouse down and get!
Seriously, a possibility exists that this can be construed as an emergency. "Hi there, im a 26 y/o female, i have been having the most terrible headache ever"
Hope everything works out ok for you!

Sorry you're in such pain and I agree with the others. My test for clusters is: Does it wake you out of a sound sleep? There is no way one can lie down or sleep during a cluster attack.
I'm also betting that while they may last a long time, that it greatly varies in intensity. That would make sense as anything more than 3 hours is rare for CH.
Stick around and let us know how you make out. You'll find some good ideas and support here.
