We need a cure. Best wishes to you just stay strong man. I will say when I completely stopped drinking alcohol it decreased them. But I have found nothing that makes any difference. Nothing that stops them nothing that does anything to interfere one way or another. They come and go when they please no matter what I do.

[@DefectivePieceofChalk]

Unfortunately, cluster headaches can have various causes and consequently, what treatment works for one person, may not work for another. My cluster headaches have likely been caused by frequent blunt force trauma to my head when I was a kid. The blood flow in my head, especially around the temples, is restricted. I have many triggers that can cause a cluster headache, from intense physical labour to extreme temperature shifts and several other things, though they can also come out of nowhere. Usually I can feel a cluster headache come up around a minute in advance. At that point the only thing I can do is find a place to sit it out. I had one recently while I was grocery shopping. Now imagine that I'm a massive, burly, bearded guy. I'm the kind of dude who, at 2,05 meters, towers over people. That massive, imposing figure I am, crumples up pretty much out of nowhere. Some people start realizing something is seriously wrong when I'm unresponsive, just slowly rocking back and forth, graspig my head with both hands. I barely even register people grouping up around me, poking me to see if I'm ok. Eventually one of them calls an ambulance on me. About an hour later I'm slowly regaining my composure, I call my sister, who lives in the same city, she picks me up and drives me home. Trust me, it sucks. The pain is so intense, it literally overtakes you. All you feel, know, are at that moment is a screaming, searing pain. I think anyone who suffers from cluster headaches knows full well why so many people with this condition try end it all. I want to say I'm strong. But during one of those moments, I'm nothing but a heap of misery. That pain is so intense that I need a day to recuperate. In a bad phase, I get a cluster headache nearly every day. For me, they last anywhere between an hour to half a day. Painkillers do absolutely nothing.

[@90daydifference]

Cluster headaches were the most brutal experience of my entire life. Absolutely nothing else comes close to the intensity and shearing pain of it and it is impossible to understand unless you’ve dealt with it. Migraines do not come close in my opinion. But the Good News is that a carnivore and ketovore diet seems to be eliminating these debilitating headaches for people. I think the clusters are brought on by inflammation, possibly in the brain. Carnivore is anti inflammatory diet. It is absolutely worth looking into. I can almost guarantee that this is a diet related complication. If you have any metabolic issues like high blood pressure, high blood glucose (diabetes), high levels of visceral fat, etc. then you can almost guarantee that the headaches are related to those things, and there’s only one way to fix it, a human species appropriate diet. Don’t know if it sounds insane or not but I will try anything to never have those things again.

[@Scottsumthin2say]

I brain freeze myself and it helps with Clusters better than any medication. It reduces the time spent suffering and kinda reduces the pain. Sometimes I alternate the ice with a hot rag. I wait till the brain freeze from my ice starts, than immediately replace it with the hottest rag I can stand. Repeat until Cluster headache is gone. This is better than any medication I promise. It’s not immediate, but definitely reduced the pain and time spent suffering. Also, as soon as you feel the slightest pain about to start, go get the ice. That is your Q to get your ice and freeze your brain.

[@Mitchmcv]

What do I do to get brain freeze

[@bmello15]

Yes help 4 a lil .. I used to stick my head up under the run. It's faucet, cold water. Freeze bags of ice. At 1 point I carried ice bags with me all the time. Soon as it flare up, throw that ice bag up under my hat.

“The fear I felt, the sadness that overcame me as the pain worsened would often send me into a deep depression.” exactly. the pain itself is excruciating. but add to that the exhaustion after a headache and the fear of the next one, the isolation of having to lock yourself away for weeks or months at a time, and the suffocating misery of doing this over and over again… unfortunately i have yet to find a decent treatment.

[@johnnybizzle2748]

I can tell you they are excruciating and peculiar. They'll occur at the same time of day sometimes for days in a row, maybe longer. They'll come on fast and hit like a freight train, like a hot poker searing the inside of your brain from your eye to about your ear on one side of your head. Your eye may droop and water. Your nose may run. You may begin to rock back and forth and hit your head on something, maybe as a natural reaction to disrupt the feeling if only for a second. You might groan and moan and hit things. Sometimes it's hard to be still; it feels like you have to move and have to rock back and forth. It's very intense and very painful. I've used oxygen for the last couple clusters I've had, and I think it works to get the headache to go away more quickly. Not much else seemed to for me, but I may not have tried as many treatments as others. I get the clusters about once every 2 years, and I just started one last night - had a precursor headache around midnight that woke me up and then another a couple hours later that was more like a normal cluster headache. If you suffer from them, don't give up. I know terrible thoughts may enter your mind when you're having one, but remember, it won't last forever, and yes, you are stronger. Hang in there. Be tough. Love you guys.

I started suffering from these when I was about nineteen, I'm turning 40 soon and I have studied these myself since then..I've paid as much attention as possible to my body when I got these attacks..I am no doctor, but I pinpointed where the pain is coming from and it's exactly where the pain starts when you get a brain freeze..I stumbled upon this accidentally, noticing the pain drinking a freezy and I thought I was getting a cluster migraine. Now I know this might sound crazy but when you notice the migraine coming on give yourself a brain freeze.. I'm serious, as much as possible as soon as possible and you will be amazed. It has stopped the pain and the attack.. I tried this because I tried everything possible And the similarities with the brain freeze and a cluster migraine are so much alike That I thought I would fight pain with pain lol.. Everything we do is basically only on the outside, cold compress, hot compress, it helps but doesn't work because the pain is on the inside ya know?? I've been oxygen yes it "might" help, microdosing with mushrooms did "only subside" my pain, but all that just for a headache can't be good for you if you continuously do it.. the brain freeze stopped it in it's tracks..don't know what it is about it but I seriously think doctors need to look into this. ✌️🍀 Please let me know if it helped you and tell your doctor if it does.

In my case it took 4yrs until being diagnosed with Chronic Cluster headache, by a professor of Neurology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham UK. Daily lithium dose helps reduce the cycle frequency, and Sumatriptan injections along with high flow oxygen helps keep the suffering to a more manageable level. More people win the lottery than being diagnosed with this condition. The condition needs to be renamed, as the word “headache”, does not correctly describe what sufferer’s have to entail. It’s important to stray strong, eat well, and exercise when possible! If you’re here because you’ve been diagnosed, then congratulations! With the correct medication It only gets better from now. You will get that life back you fought you had lost. Stay strong everyone!

It then inflames the smaller nerves under that nerve which is why they continue during rem They don't know what causes the swelling I now hold ice on my face till I'm numb then use hot water bottle. It goes away in about 15 min Only issue is so tired go back to bed same over and over till cycle ends Nero said these should not even be in the headache catageory He said they are a nerological disorder All the meds are mainly for migraines where you can sleep.

I had cluster headaches as well. I laugh at it now because I had no idea what it was, so I thought it was normal. The worst of it, I suspect, was because it was rarely known then that such a thing existed, so it wasn't diagnosed. Much like the journalist, I went along, the headaches beginning in my twenties full-on, as if it were something I would have to manage somehow. Recalling how I casually decided that I would simply shoot myself in the head as a way to escape from the torture of the pain, I recently ran across the name "suicide headache." Which caused me to laugh out loud, thinking, "So that's what that was." It's a good thing that a shot into the brain leaves such a horrible mess. Wouldn't you say? A doctor I recall with an M.D. from Harvard eventually diagnosed the pain one day, which I wasn't expecting, and I cried from the joy of it. That was the best thing, up to this point, that a doctor has ever done for me. Thanks for sharing the story, friend and fellow traveler.
