Thank you for the response. I was prescribed sumatriptan pills years ago as a migraine treatment, had no results from it. THC will lower severity about 1/2 of the time, inhaled works better than edibles. I do take OTC migraine medicine w/caffeine and use a topical called Stop Migraine on my neck and temple when I feel it start. I also make sure to keep up on water and electrolytes. These things combined are my regimen as soon as I feel one start and do help me feel slightly less pain most of the time. Rarely do I actually stop the attack from happening. The number one thing that guarantees relief is a hot shower. It works wonders while I'm in there and for 5-10 minutes after but symptoms return almost always at the same severity. Also I've noticed it's usually less severe when I sit or stand vs laying down. When I lay down it feels like more pain drains into my head for lack of a better term.

Hello, new to the forum and trying to see if what I have are considered cluster headaches. I feel like what I have fits most of the criteria, they come in waves where they are frequent for a month or so, followed by a month or so without them. Pain is severe, is on one side from the neck, sinuses and behind the eye. I've had these my entire life (33 year old male) Where I differ is that they can last for hours to a couple days. Severity does change slightly during that period but it's very painful the entire time. I used to think I had migraines, but the more I read about clusters it feels more accurate. Thanks you in advance to anyone who can shed some light on if this sounds like cluster headaches
