Thank you for the responses so far! I haven't tried oxygen yet, but have read about it before. In the first five years, the headaches were very predictable and did not last very long, so I was able to suck it up and use OTC pain medication to lessen the pain. Now with them sometimes lasting longer sometimes and being more intense, I have begun keeping a journal of start time, end time, and pain intensity. I plan on keeping a written record for about another month before going to a neurologist.

Hey All, I'm a 26 year old male who has gotten cluster headaches since 2015. When they started, they would usually occur between September and November, occur at the same time each day, and last only 30-45 minutes. I was able to deal with that through OTC pain medications. This past Autumn, the Sept-Nov cycle came and went without a single headache. I thought that I was free. Come April 2021, they returned with a ravaging vengeance. They are now unpredictable, occurring any time of the day, for now periods up to three or four hours, and with intensity I hadn't felt before to the point I cannot function. If this continues, I don't know how I will be able to continue studying and working. I don't know where else to turn, so I am reaching out to strangers on the internet for any advice you may be able to give. Much Thanks!
