My first post here... I had my first attack when I was 23. I am 26 now and it has taken me this long to actually see a specialist, who has described my case as a classic cluster headache. My attacks have been getting progressively worse. When I read the horror stories on the homepage of this site, I get pretty scared; it's not that bad with me yet. The pain is horrible, but I can still deal with it. At least I now know I have some medicine I can get next time it happens, all the prescriptions are at home. The last episode is over, I feel it is slumbering underneath my left eye, hiding above the left temple, but it will not be attacking again I think. Next spring, early spring, is when it will come again.
