I am 39 years old. I am having cluster headaches. My DR has prescribed medication for everything else BUT cluster headaches. If it wasn’t 1 am, I would have forwarded this to her!! Thank you for your video ! Very informative.
I'm a very healthy 40 years old male and i'm into 2nd week of my episodes. I've been pain free for two years and it's now back. I guess it will take two or three more weeks to end this cyle. I just found that meds that with "triptan" (rizatriptan, sumatriptan, etc.) helps if you are quick enough to take it just as you feel the attack is coming. Water soluable ones take effect quicker. Hope that helps you.
@@emprheanI’m 37 years old and male. Started when I was in my 20’s and without fail, hits about 3-5 years between episodes. Good news, they say you age out of it-maybe. I’m pretty sure my dad had it and he hasn’t had one in decades
Mine come when the season changes to autumn. If I didn’t have my daughter idk if I’d still be alive. All u want it the pain to go away by any means. Having them has added to my depression and anxiety. They have cost me jobs,loss of friends and social life. They are debilitating and don’t wish them in my worst enemy. Anyone that is suffering with these know you are one strong person!!
I am 66 and I listen to this and I am very thankful for this information. I literally thought this was something that I would die from. My mother had them and I have a brother that has them and my son has them. During the time my mother was alive and suffering they were not called clusters. They were just called migraines. It is really good to get more information on these headaches because that way a person doesn’t feel like it’s something that they are just having and that there may be something wrong there, or perhaps some kind of tumor on the brain. Thank you so much for this information.
Thank you! Very informative. I definitely believe mine are hormone related. I only started getting them around age 45. Always over my right eye and always late night early morning. They’re soooo painful, but they do get better once I wake up. They’re becoming less frequent now that I’m in menopause.
I've had some really bad migraines before, but after seeing this, I don't think I can compare my pain level to what they experience. A really bad migraine for me is one that hurts pretty bad, but not unbearable, but just lasts for a long period of time. I had no idea cluster headaches were this severe.
I promise you cant.... I've had my leg get caught in a wood chipper and ultimately severed above what was once my knee and that pain came nowhere near just a single one of my cluster headaches. I'd literally give up my only leg left if It meant that I'd never have another cluster period occur ever.... Maybe that puts it in a little bit better perspective for anybody that doesnt know.
You have no idea what true pain is until you experience a Cluster !!!! I thought I was over it after five years but they are back. I hate going to bed at night.
Try getting in shower as hot as you can stand it with the stream hitting right on the pain point like eye lid. Get you face as close to the shower head as possible….
PLEASE I NEED HELP.. THIS HEADACHE IS KILLING ME I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY JOB AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF IT, I CAN'T SLEEP, WORK, FOCUSED NOTHING AIN'T WORKING, IF ANYBODY HERE KNOW SOMETHING THAT CAN PLEASE I AM ALL FOR IT .🙏🏿 I'M ONLY 25 AND THIS IS MY FIRST EVER EXPERIENCED OF IT
mine lasted from sept 2001 to sept 2016.. they just suddenly stopped.. it was the weirdest headaches ever, some times multiple times a day and they would restart again at exactly the same hour and minute that they happened the day before .. i used to buy at the beginning very expensive drugs for it then after about a year i noticed that aspirin with caffeine from bayer or ibuprofen pills with caffeine did the trick for cheap..
I'm 35 and have had them since I was a teenager. I just found out last year that if I feel one coming on I will chug an energy drink and it almost immediately goes away. I never drink caffeine but I always keep an energy drink in the fridge just for this, been a lifesaver because these cause some ridiculous pain
Shadow boxing cures mine within 10 min every single time. It has to be a hard core, make yourself sweat and breathe hard shadow boxing. Mixed with jumping Jax and jumping squats to get your cardio going. I’m sure it’s just the fact that I get my blood pumping and oxygen flowing heavy that helps, so try it and come back to let me know if it works. I’ve suffered from clusters for 15 years and this is the only thing that has helped demolish the headache fast.
I went to an and e the other night with another severe 10-10 cluster and was told by receptionist she has migraines and I am making it worse by basically losing my mind with pain . Unfortunately people are so uneducated when it comes to cluster headaches
If your are suffering from cluster headaches ask your doctor for a medication call Topiramate 50 mg 1 at night and very important Magnesium L Threonate, hope this help someone like it helped me ❤
I have seasonal one and tried couple of different treatment. What that is surprisingly working well on me is breaking the cycle with steroid. I usually use 60 mg Prednisone for couple of days and then taper off. Sometimes, I need to break the cycle twice but it has been working consistently on me.
I always thought that these headaches were from high blood pressure, but when I explained the headaches to the doctor all of these things said I have cluster headaches. It’s the worst guys I promise.
So I guess I have migraines and not cluster headache, because I have pain in or around one eye every while and it’s severe but it has no symptom of the cluster headache and I also have photosensitivity during the headache.
I started having these everyday for about 3 weeks. Turns out it was because i smoked too much nicotine from ecigs..i quit and after 3 days the cluster headache went away completely !!!
do they start off tame and gradually get worse because for the past few months i get these headaches only behind my right eye, the pain isnt unbearable but its still really uncomfortable and they always happen 9-10 o clock ish in the evening. im just a bit worried theyll get worse and worse
I think i have them sometimes it wakes me up in the middle of the night and i can go on months without having them i just need answers i been having these headaches since I was 18
I didn't get them till 60😢. Since I've had them I've had 4 days free. 4 DAYS!!! EVERYDAY I have 6-8 no Drs will Not take me. No meds. My Whole team dumped me. .I use Cluster headache Oil from Healing OilsRN its a MIRACLE 💥‼️
bro just try swimming and only eat nutritious foods and drink more water, trust me i was having these headaches for more than 5 years continuously, just try this method for one month hope you will get better ❤️
I've had them my whole life. Usually lasting 20-30 minutes but it's the worst pain ever I cant function at all until it's gone. I found out last year from researching that caffeine may help, I never drink caffeine but if I feel one starting I will down an energy drink and it will almost immediately go away after a couple minutes it's been a lifesaver.
I always heard from experts on tv that cluster headaches were called that because they clustered around one side--mainly the eye. Also, how are these different than Hemicrania Continua?
They are called clusters because they come in bunches. 80% of sufferers are episodic and tend to get 2-4 a day for a period of 4-8 weeks before going into remission for several months. Usually occuring around the same time of year each cycle. There seems to be exceptions around most of this information but that's it in a nutshell.
I'm 47 and these are so painful 😢. I'm really glad to have some answers.

Why would you make a video about headaches with a bright white background lol I’m in hell
Finally someone feels my pain
Sorry mate, that sounds awful- but light isn’t a trigger for me
Yeah I don’t think light affects my headaches.
Afterall I get many of them while asleep.
Heat is a trigger for me.

Yeah I'm feeling that to, not there brightest idea pun intended 😂😂 got cluster migraine right now

Mine are caused from occipital neuralgia I was diagnosed on the 3rd I’ve been in agony for a month. Migraines are horrible as well.
@@jillianohalloran try the shower. At very least it does make the pain less intense.

Topiramate almost killed me. Now using verapamil. Oxygen and sumatriptan during attack. Way better for me.
I have seasonal one and tried couple of different treatment. What that is surprisingly working well on me is breaking the cycle with steroid. I usually use 60 mg Prednisone for couple of days and then taper off. Sometimes, I need to break the cycle twice but it has been working consistently on me.
So true photophobia hurts alot
I always thought that these headaches were from high blood pressure, but when I explained the headaches to the doctor all of these things said I have cluster headaches. It’s the worst guys I promise.
Ugh these hurt so bad makes me nauseated and bedridden for days
I need help am in serious pain. Am in Africa Gambia, which clinic can I visit
Thank you 🙏
So I guess I have migraines and not cluster headache, because I have pain in or around one eye every while and it’s severe but it has no symptom of the cluster headache and I also have photosensitivity during the headache.
I started having these everyday for about 3 weeks. Turns out it was because i smoked too much nicotine from ecigs..i quit and after 3 days the cluster headache went away completely !!!
Wow thank you for this information I also been going thru this for 3 weeks and I also smoke eciggs so maybe that's what causing my headaches
do they start off tame and gradually get worse because for the past few months i get these headaches only behind my right eye, the pain isnt unbearable but its still really uncomfortable and they always happen 9-10 o clock ish in the evening. im just a bit worried theyll get worse and worse
What do you do for it.
I think i have them sometimes it wakes me up in the middle of the night and i can go on months without having them i just need answers i been having these headaches since I was 18
In my case light exposure triggered them. Is it genetic.
Light didn’t trigger mine but it did make me extremely sensitive to light. I’d sit in a dark room
I didn't get them till 60😢. Since I've had them I've had 4 days free. 4 DAYS!!! EVERYDAY I have 6-8 no Drs will Not take me. No meds. My Whole team dumped me. .I use Cluster headache Oil from Healing OilsRN its a MIRACLE 💥‼️

I've had them my whole life. Usually lasting 20-30 minutes but it's the worst pain ever I cant function at all until it's gone. I found out last year from researching that caffeine may help, I never drink caffeine but if I feel one starting I will down an energy drink and it will almost immediately go away after a couple minutes it's been a lifesaver.
Cluster headaches motivated me to get a vasectomy..
What does the two have to do with each other??? Serious question
I got remedy for it, I had cluster headache but when I started 5 Times namaj 😮 There is no more headache permanently finished (it's easy for muslims)
Alcohol is the trigger for me, so I have had to cut down drinking.
I always heard from experts on tv that cluster headaches were called that because they clustered around one side--mainly the eye.
Also, how are these different than Hemicrania Continua?
