and then there is Helen and Margo's sons.
age..3 and 5 (at onset)
There is no rhyme or reason or age or disposition or color or race or gender or wealth or lack of it... related to these headaches.
YET.
That someone soon, may find a universal treatment that works for everyone is hope enough for me.

Mine hit me when I was 19. (1986) I had an awesome neurologist at that time who diagnosed me immediately. (He had them too)

My first cycle was when I was 24. I remember because I thought either I have a brain tumor or Athena is trying to break out from behind my left eye.

I was 35. Possibly the result of one of three things. 1. Punched in the afflicted side (blunt trauma). 2. Sinusitis and straightening of the septum surgery. 3. Many years of corticosteroid sprays.

I was older too.... Post menapausal (god that sounds OLD!) I may have been getting hit earlier, but am not sure - harmones and all.... if that's what it was - it went away for years and then just popped up and went away again for more years. Thinking back, that may have been what it was. But I was late 40s before it hit big time.

My attacks began at about age 20 with sinus like symptoms buiding up from about age 16 - 17. It's now been 30 years I've lived with this damn lovely disorder which was only properly diagnosed 9 years ago.

Looking bacl I realize they started in my late teens, 15-17. I remember getting awful headaches that I'd just cry through! Then I got glasses cuz a doctor thought that's what the problem was, went through all the ususal misdiagnosis until I got a family practitioner whose brother had them. 47 now and still going strong!!

Mine started June of last year, I think. Got bad with my first characteristic attacks in August. Got diagnosed in September. I was 36 then. Will be 38 in August. Looking back, I always seemed to get a tooth ache or something like that around my Birthday for the last few years. Can't help but wonder if it was really moderate or low grade attacks. My wife made the same observation after I was diagnosed and learned about CH.
Found out that one of my uncle's has CH too. His started at 16. He said his are under control now using blood pressure medication. Sounded a little odd to me at first, but when he described the attacks I was convinced that he is indeed a cluster head.
Oh boy ... if I keep it up a couple more months then I get to join the chronic club ...
Best wishes to all
Tony

I've gotten bad headaches most of my life (I remember sitting with a pillow smashed against my head when I was about 7) so they said I had migraines.. abdominal ones at age 11.
But when I was 19 or so my doctor(s) said "oh, perhaps they are actually cluster headaches". I'm not sure if I got those on top of the migraines or the morphed into CH (if that can happen!)... because I didn't have any CH symptoms with my headaches until I was 18 or so.
I'm 22 now. Lots of years and years of these to go unless I can kill them

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

15 (1969), diagnosed correctly mid 80's. Until correctly diagnosed it was sinus problems, eye, teeth or whatever the hell the idiot doc's could come up with and I belived them, didn't know any better.
