Hey Miee Rue,
I was fortunate in that pregnancy was a reprieve from the clusters for me.
However, there are meds out there that are safe during pregnance and there is also oxygen!!!!
If your doc does not know what to do, find another doc (preferably a neurologist familiar with cluster headaches) There is lots of info at this website to help and inform you, including a list of neurologists.
Best luck and well wishes****

Scroll down this page about about 24 subjects and look for the title Pregnancy and Cluster Headaches.
You might find some answers there.
Happy to hear your expecting. You have a wonderful glow. Or are you just sweating a lot?

As far as O2 goes have the prescription for it but my insurance wont ok me to have it i dont have a lack of oxygey in my blood so its not a life or death that i have it  but im tryin to get the money..they would rather give me pills and have me druged then give me the one thing that works and will keep my healthy. I didnt have this with my first son hes now 8 years old. I had a few shadows while preggers but not a full blown attack like this.

Hi, if the insurance does not deliver, get yourself welding oxygen. Many people here that are in the same situation use it.
Look under the OXYGEN button to the left for the right outflow and the right mask. Canula's don't do the job!
If you go for welding o2, you need a special valve. If you need help with that, ask Jonny. He uses it himself. The o2 is as pure as the medical stuff, just a differently named bottle.
Good luck!

There is a break in reality. Do not adjust your mind.
