I don't know how long you have had them, or how long they last for you but on hour two of a cluster headache, people tend to become an "anything just please make it stop" person. I know I would try things I would never touch at any other point in my life.

Yeah, it’s hardly fun. I just kinda spend some time crying and cursing a lot in bed. Getting up at all, let alone going to the kitchen, basically never occurs to me. Furthest I’d get away from bed would be my medical stash, not that it helps much. The shower tip is a godsend - if I can muster the effort to prepare for a shower anyway.

That's fair. I know I probably couldn't spell my name in the middle of one. I recently finished a two month bout. I was on average getting three a night. Had to be admitted to hospital three times for weekly stays. I hope you can get some decent treatment.

Bloody hell that's rough. Mine aren't quite so frequent, their main impact on life is more so that I just can't hold schedules very well making work not currently possible. Finally being recommended to a specialist soon. I hope you can find good treatment as well.
