But, I don't think your lady has clusterheadaches. It sounds like you're saying that her pain lasted for 22 days straight. Is that correct? If yes, then she does not have clusters. Cluster headaches will last for 15 minutes to 3 hours then they are gone completely for a while, an hour to 24 hours before the next attack. You say she mostly stayed in bed for 3 weeks. A Cluster sufferer will not stay in bed during the attack. A CH sufferer may sit quietly during a mild attack but will up and moving during a strong attack.
To answer your last question about the meds to stay away from....you might encourage her to stay away from all those you listed.
