Hi bobcat, Well that sounds rotten. Certainly not CH as the headache is all day, also CH is strictly one sided- sounds like yours is not? Not CH in which case verapamil is not going to help at all at all. Indomethacin is non specific, certainly a good anti-inflammatory, beware known to be very irritating to the stomach. Best avoid using the term cluster-migraine as it causes mass confusion and it is mostly used by folks who know not what the attacks are. Your story at the gym (at least you were lifting a dumbbell) and sudden headache- that is often one of 2 things, a thunderclap headache- which can be a syndrome known as reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) but that only lasts- days to weeks; or could have torn a muscle, ligament or other neck hardware resulting in a cervicogenic headache (caused by neck problem). I totally understand why they thought of low pressure headache- can present with quick onset headache focused at the back of the head (can be thunderclap). Low pressure/low CSF volume headache is generally positional - you get much better quickly lying down, with head down, only for the pain to come back quickly when upright. Out of control high blood pressure can also present like this- as you have high blood pressure you had better be measuring your blood pressure at home (with a home BP kit) to make sure it is not very high). Botox is not going to help you. I was recruited to the Graham Headache Clinic at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital April 15th. Fell free to PM me if you have any Qs or bmcg@bu.edu

Sorry, if I came across harshly. I was only offering some other information on a keto diet, it is a form of ketoacidosis, being in a state of ketosis and not recommended in the long term, because of the effects it has on the body, for an episodic, who could use it to mitigate their period, would be ideal in my mind, but long term effects have issues up to and including heart damage from the studies I have read since replying. I was only adding caution, before someone jumped on this because we all want something to work for these fucking things. As to the whole 'attack' angle. Someone got offended when they got called lame after calling another lame then saying the initial thing was said badly after responding badly, pretty sure there is enough blame to go around for bad manners. On my part, I apologize. Also my user name is in reference to my cat, a Devon Rex, who is the only thing that has been able to calm me or even get a smile during high number attacks, simply because she is happiness you can cuddle and so damn empathic her skin crawls if my hand comes near her when I am mid attack, but she will still come to be near me. Because of this I can occasionally, 'set aside' the pain for her sake. Its...disassociation, something something, but it can give me an eye in the hurricane of the pain for a few moments.

Yuppers... Oregon is next!! Who'd a thunk we'd see this...EVER!!!!
