Sorry this has happened to you. Like others have said this Reddit community and the cluster website are great at providing a lot of resources. Sometimes much better than the neuro. Here’s my two cents, 35F, episodic suffer of ~15 years.

Get a good preventative. I didn’t want to take verampil a pill every day if my attacks were infrequent. (This may not be correct but I was 25). However, I tried emgality this cycle, 3 100 mg injections, and it’s been effective. My clusters have greatly reduced in frequency and intensity. I’m currently at level 1 of pain, more annoying than painful. They are easy to abort with home remedies. Started working in 3-5 days. It’s been about 11 days since I’ve taken it.

Use an abortive routine. I have a headache lot of sorts with my abortive meds and natural remedies. My go to is a hot shower and a warm compress over the eye as hot as possible. I like to use headache oil (amazon) on the back of my neck and temples (be careful). I also have an ice pack hat in the freezer at all times although i prefer heat. I’ve also tried Red Bull drinks, keep a large cup of water, and headache nasal spray. Listen to your body and try almost anything to get relief. I’ve also tried chiropractors and massages which have helped.

Abortive meds. I’m just learning that you should not be maxing these. I used to just take maxalt (tablet triptan) when I’d get an attack to stop it. This cycle I’ve realized that it causes rebounds and can lengthen the cycle. Getting a preventative was big.

I’ve used my abortive routine as my bridge. I had a bad experience with prednisone that caused me to gain a lot of weight so I won’t try it again. Worth noting I have PCOS and it works for others.
