I just found this site regarding cluster headaches. I have had them for 41 years and have never found a doctor who could understand them. I was a sample pill popper for them for years until I said enough is enough. The drugs did nothing except create other symptoms. I now use oxygen which does not prevent the headaches but makes them tolerable. By using oxygen, although I have a tremendous loss of sleep for about 6 weeks, I can go to work and function. There is no loss of clarity and I am able to carry on most of my activities. The only thing I do while going through a bout of Clusters is avoid alcohol although I find it does not seem to trigger them.
