Imitrex and the like are out for me. I fit almost all of the criteria for people that shouldn't take it. Not so good for the ticker.

Cluster Headaches come in "clusters". What my Dr. prescribed for me was "Prednisone"(steroid) for 2 weeks,..5 a day, then 4 a day etc. All that does is resets the "clock" for the next cycle,usually late March-April.
The oxygen works a little for me ,it takes some of the edge off from the pain.

Ah, that sucks. That family of drugs really works magic on migraines...

Hey John take it easy, okay? Relax if that can possibly help. I hope you get better, whatever you have to do.

Thanks folks... The medicine I have is called Amerge. Took one today and it worked wonders - some other days it makes me nauseaus...
