Refresh my memory, but weren’t you saying the headaches come and last the whole day with no breaks? That sounds like a dead ringer to me for hemiacrania continua. Also mimic some CHs. Did the doc have a reason why the doc thought it was CH and not HC? It still may be worth trying the indomethacin. A small group of CH patients respond to it according to my old CH doc.

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. Walker for a day or so then a cane til I lost it (about 2 weeks) I can do stairs pretty well. Been driving since week 2 (left hip automatic car). Still can't ride a motorcycle. Went back o work week 4 post op. Headaches have not been an issue. I'm in about an 8 month remission. I tend to use low dose MM tincture when I get shadows and that works for me. Like all of us the beast acts in erratic, irrational debilitating ways so I am never sure if an intervention helps (MM, D3, steroids, amovig, etc) or if the cycle has run its course. I am reasonably confident #1 O2 properly used is an effective abortive for classic cluster headaches and #2 mushrooms saved my life.

In the recent past I successfully trained for an Ironman. Understand completely the post training hit, it robs you of the joy of completing an event. I am strongest in bike and running isnt my thing but the outcomes are likely similar. I found taking salt and magnesium at intervals helped prevent post training hits. Generally most of my hits came at night so sleep disturbances had the greatest impact on training. Busting helped too ( I think). I firmly believe it is best to pursue everything you can and fuck the beast. If you alter your life for the beast the beast wins. Never let a bully win.
