I'm 29 and have been having cluster headaches since I was 19 or 20. Until this week I didn't know what to call them or know that others suffered from the same thing as me. I just started a bout(my first since I've been online)and I have been amazed to read the first hand accounts that some of you told. They were a compilation of the stories I have told my friends and family. My bouts last around 5 weeks and have a ch every other night. They start exactly 1 hour after I fall asleep and are extremely intense for about 25 minutes. Then the pain starts to slip away and 50 minutes after the attack I fall back asleep. Now that I know about this site, I will be back often.
