Hi Bob,
Sorry the Beast is taking a run at you. Have you tried Dramamine (or Gravol in Canada) before bed? It won't touch your cluster pain but it does produce sleep as a side effect but doesn't let you get into the REM phase which is where the Beast can find you. It just might help you get through the night.
Also, try ice bags on the back of your neck - it really seems to help my husband stay calm and be able to keep the pain down to a "manageable" level. He's also had HUGE success with the water treatment, which you can read about on the Water X 3 button on the left side of this page. He, too, went through a myriad of drugs with no success.
Hope you find relief soon and do give the Dramamine a try - it has helped lots of people here.
Water Water Water
