Hi, I have only recently started getting these Cluster headaches.  After waiting a week to see a GP he confirmed they were Cluster headaches, I already guessed as had researched myself.  I also get (Thunderstorm triggered) Migraines too and this time it started off the Cluster headaches by having a real bad one.  Then daily each morning I get my stabbing head pains which I found really scary at the time.   My GP has only given me 6 Sumatriptan tablets which is useless for the Cluster headaches.  What can I ask for to help me, this pain is so bad and when it happens it makes me almost drop down.  GP tells me it will suddenly stop and I hope he is right, if you have to live with this for evermore nothing will get done in life.  

I'm so glad I found this site and have willingly joined in the hope of finding out more about it all.
