I woke up this morning with a familiar twinge over & behind my right eye and thought to myself it's not time for this. I too suffer from clusters. They are pure hell. I have about 2 years untill my next battle with them (at least according to my history). The twinge is gone but the memory is as clear as day. Imetrix works for me, I take pills I can't shoot up. My last episode was last summer three times a day for 33 days straight. I wanted to die. I just read some responses from other people and one person said that they are called suicide headaches (yeah sure are). To me it feel like someone is gouging my right eye out of my head with a spoon. My doctor decribed the pain as a woman giving birth. How ever one decribes it the pain is excruciating. If you suffer you know. If you don't (just another headache I don't think so !!)
