It sounds like cluster to me. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors don't take head pain seriously. I suggest searching this site for information on different treatments people have tried that have worked for them. Especially the "water treatment" and oxygen. Inhaling pure oxygen has helped a lot of people (I've never tried it because my insurance company won't pay for it).
I don't know how you can make your doctor understand, but there are treatments out there for you. If it's feasible, you might want to try to find a new doc, one who will take your pain seriously.
One last piece of advice is to keep in mind that we all know what you're going through, and we're all here for each other for moral support. It really helps to know that you're not alone.
Good luck to you.
