Okay...so I'm in week 3 of clusterbusting a cycle- so far, almost 2 weeks without a cluster attack, and the almost constant migraines all but dissappeared, with only a mild one coming on in the evenings when I'm on the computer for a long time.
Now, 2 days ago this new lil' b@stard shows up: it's a deep, sharp, boring pain centered behind my right eye, feels like my browbone is trying to melt down onto my eyeball, eye is feeling "heavy" and a little droopy; but it hasn't peaked or valleyed- it has been a level 7 for two straight days now, and nothing will stop it!  But it's not making me particularly nauseous like my migraines do (unless I sit down at a computer, and then it feels like a migraine.)  It also hasn't switched sides at all.  Thoughts? Observations? Haikus?
Oh, and we tried vicodin last might...vicodin does NOT like me.  At all. 

radar your migraine symtoms are tyical of busting. thats about the same as what happened to me. i didn't follow   it through for weeks like you are doing, my dose lasted about 14 hours (tripping to the oldies). after my dose wore off i got hit with 3 45 minute long kip9s.  after that the rest of the day was a steady kip3. the first week the attacks were just as frequent but less severe and easier to control with o2. week 2 the attacks were weaker, less frequent and i was getting sleep. 3rd week i had maybe 3 kip5s and  some hard migraines.  at the end of the 3rd week i was drinking beer and off the o2.
i would say you almost got it busted

also vicadin doesn't do shit for clusters

keep in mind,  if your going to be clusterbusting you need to be rx free for at least a week or 2 beforehand. o2 is ok

Your like I am... I stare at my computer doing music editing for hours and then a fucker of a headpain cluster... then  i sit back after a few hours of incredable pain, and think, what the fook can I do about that?  then I go straight back like a hound dog to the computer and start editing music again,,, then  BAM........moth..f..r hits be again, behind my left eye....and again, i go take a break for a few hours and moan and rub my head or take a shot of Imitrex.... and then,,,,,,  like a true blue s and m, i go straight back to the computer,,, and thats what I call my ignorant cycle!!   But, now, I have learned that, once I get hit, I turn the computer off,,, and I go take a walk, and call it a day...

You have to get used to lifestyle changes....  all the drugs change in diet wont take away the fact that you will get hit with a claw hammer if you sit in front of the computer for a long time period.... you now know its going to happen...

What did help me, was hooking my my computer to the falt screen tv and now I sit farther away and that has helped a ton... but I still get hit,, and when I do... I quit and go do something else for a day.

Check out this site just for kicks and see if your diet has any of whats on the food list that creats allot of histimine...

Also, have you been diognased with sleep apnea?  If so, that has a major effect on my cluster attacks,,, and I got one of those CPAP postive pressure machines not long ago, and it really makes a difference to the intesnity and frequency of my attacks...  just thought to pass that on...  but man, you gotta simmer down the time your spending in front of the computer screen..   dont be a dumb houndog like me...  kind of like the houndog that gets nailed by a porkypine and then after licking his wounds, goes out and attacks the first porkypine that crosses his trail,,, and then again, runs back home licking his wounds.... its the ignorant cycle to avoid....  good luck with it all.. doug (houndog) lol
