Every 6 months or so, my father is stricken with cluster headaches. He will have on the average 3 episodes a day, and they last about 15 minutes. This will go on for about 3 months then they just quit. The pain of these are so intense he's actually begged my mom to kill him to stop the pain.
Does anyone out there have any ideas how to minimize the agony while these episodes are occurring? He's on several meds for this condition, but nothing seems to help much. What works for you?
