Most Neurologists worth going to will require a referral from your GP anyway.

I had Clusters from age 21-30 with them getting progressively worse with age. They randomly came on out of no where and went away randomly and have not had one in 6 years. No other way to describe them but as absolute hell. Age 28 was the worst with seven trips to the ER because nothing else worked besides a morphine or demerol drip.

Try the different "Triptans" to see which one works best for you. I tried them all, but found the Imitrex injections to work the best for me. Oxygen can also provide a little relief, but it was kind of hit or miss. Also, find your triggers and avoid them, i.e. certain alcohol, foods, smoking.

Might sound dumb, but I believe part of the reason they stopped for me was due to seeing a counselor and unpacking years of psychological baggage. It is crazy what effect stress can have on your body.

Best of luck to you as these can be truly life altering.

So sad
