I have a two year old with clusters. I know the fear of finding out it is actually cluster headaches and knowing how many suffer, and have suffered with no relief. I can only tell you what has helped my son, and it's different than many of the meds. you've heard of I'm sure. It was diflucan(anti-fungal med.)that stopped my sons chronic(since may) clusters. I first heard of it working on this website by looking in post archives under candida,diflucan,or yeast. Please try to look up the old messages concerning this connection. I know it sounds nuts, but it worked for my son once, and he is about to go on it one more time. I've read of 6 others finding help with the drug, some were 14 to 20 chronic. I know that some of the drugs that help with pain are too dangerous for a child, so try the oxygen. It was the best abortive for my son. Please e-mail with any questions. Good Luck, Shelly
