Please inform me on treatments. I've suffered for over 10 yrs and just recently diagnosed myself when I was pre-med; but only b/c I had the research materials. No one ever believed me, about the intensity or length. Even talking about it brings on a slight twinge behind my left eye--I don't wnat meds and intake plenty water; curious about other methods.

On the left side of your screen is an 'oxygen info' button. Click it. You'll learn about the 02 masks, tanks, pressure settings, etc.

Hey B..how r ya? Listen....for you and any others that might read this..Ive been episodic for almost 25 years...and since I found this site..and all the info on here...I learned alot. And what I learned is that OXYGEN...for me works...really works. I got a concentratorlast friday for the first time ever...and Ive slept with a canula on all night...at about 5 lpm...and its kept me pain free. First time since I started my cycle Feb 18th. And for all the others out there who see this...if you've never tried oxygen.... DO IT! I can say Im a believer in it now. Luke

I think we should all get together and do a movie..."Night of The Clusterheads". George Romero would have nothing on us!!!

With a medical background you may find it interesting to explore: www.headachedrugs.com.
Also consider:
HANDBOOK OF HEADACHE MANAGEMENT, 2nd ed., Au. Joel Saper, MD, 1999, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. A highly condensed volume for doctors but good for "advanced" clusterheads who have a grasp of medical terminology and medications. Covers all types of headache with the section on cluster being brief. Sections on general considerations in treatment and on medications are important.
MANAGEMENT OF HEADACHE AND HEADACHE MEDICATIONS, 2nd ed. Lawrence D. Robbins, M.D.; pub. by Springer. $49 at Amazon.Com. This volume is better organized and easier to read for nonprofessionals compared to Saper's book. It covers all types of headache and is primarily focused on medications. While the two chapters on CH total 42-pages, the actual relevant material is longer because of multiple references to material in chapters on migraine, reflecting the overlap in drugs used to treat. I'd suggest reading the chapters on migraine for three reasons: he makes references to CH & medications which are not in the index; there are "clinical pearls" about how to approach the treatment of headache; and, you gain better perspective on the nature of headache, in general, and the complexities of treatment (which need to be considered when we create expectations about what is possible). Finally, women will appreciate & benefit from his running information on hormones/menstrual cycles as they affect headache. Chapter on headache following head trauma, also. Obviously, I'm impressed with Robbins' work (even if the book needs the touch of a good editor!) (Somewhat longer review/content statement at 3/22/00, "Good book...."
HEADACHE HELP, Revised edition, 2000; Lawrence Robbins, M.D., Houghton Mifflin, $15. Written for a nonprofessional audience, it contains almost all the material in the preceding volume but it's much easier reading. Highly recommended.
