Sadly, I'm familiar with O2 set ups...my mom was on it for awhile so I know what to look for. I printed up the files and also sent the links to my docs nurse (she's AWESOME!) Right now they are suggesting I try tylenol or motrin to help ease the pain...I sent them some of the links from here... She thinks they should be able to get the O2 set up for my tomorrow or early next week...and I know how to be a pain in the next with medical folks...my mom was terminal and they sometimes like to take the easy way out! It looks like I'll have to try different combos to see whats going to work...and that's okay. At least I'm moving forward! @ Jeff...I'll try the energy drinks...maybe I can find one I can stomach. If they had a green tea flavored one I might just be willing to give it a go! Thanks so much for everything, guys! I'm starting to relax a bit...it's not so scary now...

I'm already set up for a class and some meds to help with the anxiety/stress of quitting. My doc is working on getting me the O2...and I'll pick up the vitamans this afternoon on my way home from work! I'm not sure about the energy drinks, I really don't like the way they taste!...maybe some coffee I'm in Italy and we have some GREAT coffee/expresso over here!

Everyone...thank you for your support. CH Father...I"m going to pring this out and try and see if I can some of these things locally. Where I am I may have to go online and order. My doc didn't give me anything for it today. I think it was because he was laughing at me because I was excited it wasn't migraines! Right now I'm having 1 "attack" (my son said it sounds like a shark when I use that word) every other day between 6 and 7 at night...and it's nuts! I'll be sitting on the couch watching TV or playing with the kid and then all of a sudden my head is about to explode! Does the exercise thing really work? I don't mind running... Sorry...this has made me a bit spastic. I'm not used to be sick... Sorry, everyone...I know I'm rambling. I'm just used to being the one in charge and taking care of everything and making it all better. I'll contact the doc and see if I can't the O2 set up... Thanks for everything...I almost think I feel better. Never knew something as simple as a "headache" could be this debilitating! Although after reading what some folks are going through mine seems pretty mild...

Tingeling... So far they haven't given me anything. THis has just started...was whining to a friend about these nasty headaches and she told me it was migraines! We argued...and then made a $20 bet. I won...i guess. The says it's CH. We talked about some things I have to change (bye-bye smoking). At this point I'm trying to find out everything I can...it's kinda scaring me a little after reading some folks posts. I don't have ANYTHING this sever...and I'm a bit scared that it might escalte and get worse :'( I'm a single mom with an awesome son...and I really can't be down for the count! Mysti

Morning all... Today my doctor told me I am suffering from cluster headaches. I'm 38 and this just started...so I did what anyone with access to a computer would do...I check on line...and proceded to scare the hell out of myself! I have skimmed through your site and it looks like a heck of a lot of good info...sadly some of the suggested treatments I can't use because of my work situation. I guess I'd also like to know if he might be wrong! I get instant bliding headaches on the right side. My right eye feels like it's going to explode or get pushed out of my head! My right nostril feels like someone shoved a plug in it. It pain lasts for 30 minutes to almost 2 hours. Some times I sit up and curl into a ball and cry...sometimes I pace...I've tried different things to make the pain go away but nothing really seems to work. If I push really hard on my head, it eases up a little...but not for long. :-[ Any thoughts?
