As a 43 yr old and having suffered with CH for over 15 years I been through it all. I originally had to put up with military doctors at each change of assignment trying to come up with a new diagnosis and refusing to accept what the real problem was. After the military it took three doctors to finally find one who was willing to try whatever was necessary to break the spells and provide releif. I've tried every med that has every shown some relief for others. When I'm in a spell the only thing I want is relief. I'm usually on a steady dose of percocet and a rather new application of a drug called Stadol NS (nasal spray). This is strong stuff, but is effective at pain relief. Hope this helps.
