Sounds so much like a migraine. I've had a lifetime of those. I've read some about histamine headaches are they similar to those? I don't recall the physiological cause of cluster headaches. Do they know what causes them?

Sorry for your suffering. I get the whole idea of no pain meds capable of relieving them. My migraines only responded to imitrex.
