What Should I Do About My Cluster Headaches?
Experiencing cluster headaches since Monday. I called the doctor's office and they said I won't be able to see the doctor until February 11. What should I do? Nothing I take eases the pain. Is there something that I can maybe buy over the counter?

1. Advil or Tylenol work well. Taking naps also help.2. Caffeine may help. Another thing (I get cluster headaches) that helps sometimes is peanuts if you're not allergic to them. There's an enzyme in them that helps with headaches. I don't know how or why, but it was recommended to me by another nurse and I've used them ever since (and I HATE peanuts!).
Ibuprofen with a cup of coffee may help some but if it gets too bad, a trip to the ER isn't out of order so you can get some relief until you can see your doctor. Let them know how bad the headaches are, keep a journal, and let them know that you can't see your doctor until February so if they give you a script, you will have enough medication to last until your appointment.
3. February the 11th are u talking about your GP?? you shouldnt have to wait that long to see a GP... try co-codamol
