Hey BoscoPiko, Thanks for your response. I did take ginger capsules and ginger tea last cycle. I didn't get a lot of relief though it's hard to tell sometimes. I haven't tried curcumin mixed with turmeric, I will give that a shot. Do you have one continuous headache your entire cycle? That's what I've been dealing with my last three cycles. It's really bad today, hard to imagine another couple months of this. Also another thing that started happening the last couple of years is if I get hot and sweaty I get a bad headache (even when I'm not in a cycle). I drink tons of water too so its puzzling.

Hey all, Been reading Cluster Busters for years now and would like to thank everyone involved. I've been a CH sufferer for 16 years now and this site has been the only real help I've gotten in that time. The first cycle I had 16 years ago was pretty typical with light sensitivity, droopy eye, and 3-5 attacks per day. Doc gave me Imitrex pills (worthless) and never said anything about only taking one per day. I was taking 3-5 a day and it was a terrible experience. It wasn't until I found Cluster Busters that I learned about oxygen. Oxygen has been the only thing that has helped with the attacks. I went many years without another full blown cycle. In 2020 I got a really bad cycle but I didn't get the 3-5 attacks per day (thank God), instead I have a really bad headache and shadows that lasts for my entire cycle. When I say shadows I mean heavy shadows, very light headed/ dizzy. Sometimes so bad I feel nervous about driving a car. Also the headache ranges from 3-7 type pain for 12 or so weeks. Oxygen doesn't help with the shadow headaches. I had another bad cycle last year and now another one started 3 weeks ago. I'm really struggling, I'm an electrician by trade and working on tall ladders and playing with live wires isn't a great feeling when you are cross eyed lol. I was wondering if anyone else has had symptoms like these. Thanks, Erik
