and those of us that suffer with the same cluster headaches, DO understand, and sympathize with your pain. I think we all at one point wanted to die during an attack, but I think the most important thing that gets us through, is our strength to survive. You sound quite strong to me, because you are still with us. If you have any meds around the house, such as antihistamine, dramamine, even tylenol with codeine, take a couple of them. Since prescribed meds don't work for me, I even get relief with 2 antihistamine, 3 ibuprofen, and 2 cups of hot strong coffee. The CH may come, but it takes the edge off. If ever you need to talk, or vent, please email me at mfiltz@excite.com
Here's wishing you painfree days and nights, with lots of hugs and prayers,
luv, melissa
