Here is some "Gator Aid" for you.  (LMAO Jeepgun)
Welcome to the website. Sucks that you had a reason to come looking for us, but damned glad you found us.
As you have no doubt discovered, the links to the left have tons of good info in them. There is even more on the OUCH website. Read everything you can and print stuff out that seems applicable. Unfortunately, you may end up teaching whatever doctor about CH.
Here is a link to read and print and take to your doctor. It describes preventative, transitional, abortive and surgical treatments for CH.
http://www.brightok.net/~mnjday/chtherapy.pdf
Here is a link to some non-prescription alternatives different people have used to help with the pain:
http://www.clusterheadaches.org/resources/non_script_treat.htm
If you are currently taking medications, I would suggest you talk with your doctor before taking any of the nutritional supplements. At the very least check for interactions at a website such as:
http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Home/AllAboutDrugs
Nutritional supplements can interact with prescription meds just the same as some prescription meds interact with each other. Better safe than sorry where your health is concerned.
Oxygen is an excellent abortive. Works for most people when used properly. Defintely try this. As well as it works, I have a hard time understanding why more doctors do not prescribe it. If your doc won't prescribe it for you, you might try welder's O2. It's the same pure oxygen used by medical suppliers. Many people here use it and would be more than happy to help you set it up. Here are some links that tells about using O2:
http://www.maplefallswebdesign.com/misc/oxygen/oxygen.htm
http://www.headaches.org/consumer/topicsheets/oxygen.html
http://www.chhelp.org/mhni.html
Here is a link to a letter that may help explain things to your friends, family and co-workers.
http://www.clusterheadaches.org.uk/home/index.cfm?address=../clusters/no te_colleagues.cfm&added=04/01/04&code=CB
Again, welcome to CH.com. There's no better place in the world for info and support of cluster headaches.

Don't know about gatoraide, but do know that 240 mg of verapamil is probably not enuff. Do you use any other abortive 02 (oxygen), trex etc. Read the links gator posted. Read the links to the left. hope it gets better.
