Cluster headaches suck very much. Had one tonight it is very intense, and not many people understand how much it sucks. It had been a while since the last one about a year or so. Well I am glad it has finally calmed down and I hope it will not happen again for a long time. There’s no cure for cluster headaches. The goal of treatment is to decrease the severity of pain, shorten the headache period and prevent the attacks. Here is a short definition for people not familiar with cluster headaches. Cluster headache is a condition that involves, as its most prominent feature, an immense degree of pain that is almost always on only one side of the head. Some doctors and scientists have described the pain resulting from cluster headaches as the most intense pain a human can endure - worse than giving birth, burns or broken bones. Cluster headaches often occur periodically: spontaneous remissions interrupt active periods of pain, though there are about 20% of sufferers whose cluster headaches never remit. Some people affected with cluster headache have committed suicide, leading to the nickname "suicide headaches." The cause of the condition is unknown. It affects approximately 0.1% of the population and men are more commonly affected than women, by a ratio of 10:1.
