Just wanted to say thanks to all of you, I have learned alot just reading this web site. I hadn't even heard of Cluster Headaches until my doctor told me I had it. I'm in my third week of pain that wakes me up each morning around 2 or 2:30 and I still have bouts when I go to bed at 8. My pain is nowhere near what you all are talking about or have experienced. My bouts last all day with my longest 2 to 3 hours when I wake up, but my pain has only been a 7 in the pain scale. Since reading this web site I now know I'v had at least 3 cycles this year lasting 5 to 6 weeks each. I'm just wondering if a person has more bouts per cycle or per day if the pain is less then those who have fewer bouts? Can anyone tell me? I'm just thankful for what I have, and hope the beast doesn't get worse. Thanks
