Mine started when I was 14 years old, I’m now 57. I have been diagnosed with cluster headaches/migraines.

Where one can set the other off. I have never had auras or anything of the sort. I always wake-up in the middle of the night and it’s full-blown with nausea then dry heaves. I have gone the gambit with treatments including Biofeedback to Botox.

What truly worked for me is no longer used. I’m now on pain management twice daily and to break through the pain. But I hate how the Immediate Release makes me fill and the hangover the day after.

I will be going to a new specialist and tapering off all the Morphine, not sure what we will be doing next. This will be my 11th Neurologist/ Headache Specialist sense they started 43 years ago.

I was told that it’s not common for a male to have these, that females are usually the ones that have these…..lucky me huh. I know my triggers by several years of headache journals. I’ll keep you posted on what we do next.
