I learned that from a kid years ago. . . doesn't work so well with ice cream cones lol.

The only medication that worked - Sansert - was taken off the market a few years ago. Now there is nothing except oxygen and large doses of prednisone - which is never good. Fortunately these migraines come  in episodes (hence the name cluster) than can be up to 3 years apart. However, when an episode takes hold you are a slave to the pain that comes mostly at night and consists of intense pain several times during the night that must just be suffered through.  Imitrex helps somewhat but cannot be taken often enough to help completely.  Hopefully this research will lead to some progress with Cluster Migraines. If anyone has any further information on Cluster Migraines please put it out there in the great Googable cyber world.
