women get them also is just more common with men. I would say change doctors

There is no way I could handle the pain of one of my CH episodes for 8 hours, I would be reaching for the gun!! I can only just take the 2 hours they normally last and then I'm begging for mercy!!

Terrible drug company propaganda! Please google cluster headaches; I assure you that many, many of the results will give a method for an equal--if not better--chance of providing relief. Oh, but it's free. And probably illegal in your jurisdiction. Lame.

this is an advert by the drug company - duh! - however, as a CH sufferer who uses Sumitriptan 6mg s/c but tried O2 which did not abort attacks have to say that it really works! However - have you looked into the molecular structure of sumitiptan and how much it is related to LSD!...

Search for "cluster headache remedy" on ebay. I got you. From a former sufferer

I suffer from cluster headaches and I tried everything and nothing worked. Until I tried hallucinogenic mushrooms. They are illegal but you can find them on the internet if you search for them. Legality is the least of your worries when you have headaches that are so painful you are contemplating suicide. Any one out there who has cluster headaches I suggest you try mushrooms. Not only do the abort a headache but if you take a small amount each day it will prevent them. Telleveryone about this

How is this "100% relief"? The man suffers for an entire hour with the meds before the pain goes away!

If I can just add to my comment below that I give all CH sufferers my total sympathies and hope that you all find a way to cope and alleviate the pain.

I have chronic CH in that I get it all the time at least 2 attacks every week, year in year out. Tramadol Hydrochloride does help stem the pain into 15 to 30 minute bouts instead of 1.5 hour bouts. If they were long bouts every day then I would seriously contemplate death as the only solution as my quality of life is not exactly ok.

Painkillers do help but do not erradicate it. I hope a cure is found soon as I sometimes get extremely brutal CH attacks, luckily not every day that bad.

Cluster headaches are far worse than a fracture. My headaches are the most painful thing I have experienced and I've broken multiple bones including my tibia. At least people believe how much pain you've been through with a broken bone when you tell them about it. On a scale of 5 broken tibia=4 for initial second when it broke, cluster headaches=5 for 15 to 60 minutes.

Oxygen works for me. I go no-where without it. As long as you catch it early you can prevent it getting worse, then it starts to subside. I have not needed to use drugs. Interesting thought though, I wonder if your Doctor gets commission on the drugs as opposed to the gas company for the oxygen?? But if Gabapentin works for you, then great :-)

I heard that oxygen therapy works wonders. I never could get a doctor to perscribe it though. my new doctor has me on a drug called gabapentin and I havent had a headache since.
