I take BC Powder for my migraine headaches. You can pick them up at Wal-Greens, Wal-Mart, Target....one of those types of stores. However, not all stores carry them. It is pure aspirin that goes directly into your system after taking it and it works really good too. Been taking them for years now.
Get into a hot shower and down a couple of those BC's powders and your headache will be knocked out.Comment

BC powder does not get rid of migrains in everyone, due to the fact that it is no just aspirin, it is 3 ingredients, not just 1. And one is caffeine which will cause many headaches to increase due to Migraines are actually inflammation and cafeine will increase inflammation. Caffeine increases muscle tension,definitely something migraineurs do not want. BC pwddrs actually just raise your threshold of pain and do nothing to actually combat the inflammation causing your headache...
As someone who has had migraines since a child, bc powders are not just aspirin and actually make my headaches worse. BC powders are far from pure aspirin. They even contain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicylamide

I have had cluster migraines for 20 years... and I just recently found a way to stop them, or at least dull them. I have taken everything from Excedrin to Percocet, Vicodin, and Lortab. The best "drug" that I've found is an Imitrex injection, 6mg... and it works in minutes, but it always makes me vomit. Plus, if your insurance doesn't cover it, they are over $100 per shot... I would use 4-5 every week.
But, after reading about getting Botox for migraines, I decided to give it a try. On my next series of cluster migraines, I went to Alysha's doctor, who gave me some Botox injections in my forehead near my migraine trigger points. Within a couple of days my headaches stopped completely. Having these for years, I knew the routine... they should have hung around for 6-8 weeks... but they disappeared in a couple of days. 6 months later when I got my next cluster, I went and had Botox again... same result, they were knocked out in a couple of days.
Soooo.... if your headaches are truly migraines, and they bother you that much, give Botox a try and see. It's not that expensive (I pay about $250 each time), and it knocked them out completely for me. Just ask your doc if he's treated migraines with Botox, so he knows where to inject you.

I use Torodol (prescribed to me), an anti imflammatory that worls 90% of the time, along with paracetamol & codeine (called panadeine, here in Australia). Give this combo about 40 minutes and if the headachs not gone, it's lessened to the point where I can function.Got Foot Fetish Traffic? These sites will make you $$$...

Glad you found an answer to your clusters.
I have clusters too - so I know how incredibly bad they are.
I now see a renowned neurologist in LA who specializes in headaches - and whose father was one of the neurologists who first figured out cluster headaches back in the 70s.
If you want to try something different, easier and cheaper than Botox, here's the magic bullet...assuming that you have classic clusters that occur at the same time every night after you go to sleep.
1. Verapamil - the highest dose they'll give you (I take 240mg twice a day). I actually started this years before I saw the neurologist mentioned above - once you're in a cluster, it drastically lessens the number of headaches that you get - I went from six headaches per day when they started, to one per day once I started the verapamil.
2. Cafergot - this is the real key that he gave me. When you're in a cluster, assuming you get the headache after you go to bed (which is most common), take one pill BEFORE you go to bed. BINGO. No headache
(Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor and cafergot can have bad interactions with some drugs or medical conditions - be sure to consult a doctor first.)
It was a real life-saver for me. Obviously if you've found that Botox works for you and you want to stay with it, that makes sense. But if you want to avoid Botox (I don't trust it) and go with something you can just take at home - this is it.
PS The other thing that is commonly prescribed for clusters is oxygen - if you get a cluster headache, you turn on the oxygen and it kills the headache in minutes. I didn't go that way, but a lot of people do.
PPS (for Who) --- if you have regular migraines, see a neurologist who specializes in headaches. My wife had a rare form of migraines and he was able to pretty much take care of those, too

I wanted to try this but at the time my insurance would not cover it and it was a lot more money. The put me on Topamax. Makes me dumb some times plus some other side effects but works pretty well!
Besides doing all this...I used to take 3 or 4 Tylenol and a can or 2 of coke. Then some dark and quite.Comment

Glad the topamax works for you.
I just wanted to clarify for the people reading this thread and considering ways to treat their headaches - cluster headaches are *very* different than migraines, and usually the treatments are very different.
For example, if you have a migraine, you usually want to go into a dark room and get away from the light and lie down. The migraine may last a little while, or it may last hours or even days. There are a number of medications specifically aimed at ending migraines.
If you have a cluster headache, you don't care about the light, and you can't stay still - the last thing you want to do is lie down. And the headache will usually be over in 15-30 minutes, but during those 15-30 minutes, it's the worst pain anyone can possibly imagine. And there are very few treatments.

Not so with mine at all...
In fact, my neurologist says I have signs of traditional and cluster migraines. Mine come in clusters... usually two or three times a year, and for 6-8 weeks at a time when they come. But, the severity is unbearable and debilitating... I can't look at ANY light, even the alarm clock in an otherwise pitch black room is too much. I can't hear ANY noise, and I constantly have a nauseous feeling... and they last for hours. The ONLY thing I could take that would work in less than an hour was the Imitrex injections at $100 a pop. But, there was a process that went with that... take the injection, throw up five minutes later, go to sleep. So, it's not something you want to do when you're in public, at work, etc... When I couldn't take the injections, I would take a couple pills (Percocets, Lortabs, etc.), but I would just feel loopy with a headache.
I have had these headaches for almost two decades, and the only thing that has stopped them (without side effects) has been the Botox injections. I'm sold on them...

Then you should be. Glad they work for you
My apologies; I didn't realize that you don't have cluster headaches as they're usually defined/diagnosed, but have some sort of extremely rare combination - which I should have realized. Yours sound awful
(I unfortunately have experience with both, since I've had clusters for years, and my wife has something called "hemicrania continua" - which is basically a "continuous migraine" - and she's been through almost every migraine treatment there is.)
My suggestions were for people who have traditional cluster headaches; if anyone is curious on the subject, or thinks that they may have clusters instead of migraines:
Cluster headache, nicknamed "suicide headache", is a neurological disease that involves, as its most prominent feature, an immense degree of pain. "Cluster" refers to the tendency of these headaches to occur periodically, with active periods interrupted by spontaneous remissions. The cause of the disease is currently unknown. It affects approximately 0.1% of the population, and men are more commonly affected than women.
The duration of the common attack ranges from as short as 15 minutes to three hours or more. The onset of an attack is rapid, and most often without the preliminary signs that are characteristic of a migraine. However, some sufferers report preliminary sensations of pain in the general area of attack, often referred to as "shadows", that may warn them an attack is imminent. They are often initially mistaken for brain tumors and multiple sclerosis until patients are treated with corticosteroids and then imaged.
The pain of cluster headaches is markedly greater than in other headache conditions, including severe migraines, and experts believe that it may be the most severe pain known to medical science. It has been described by female patients as being more severe than childbirth.

Yep... that's what I go through. But, mine have NEVER lasted for only 15 minutes. They have always been on the other end of that spectrum (3+ hours). I do get an "aura" right before they come, and I typically start downing Percocets right when I feel that aura. The reason they are called suicide headaches (according to my neurologist) is because of the number of people who have committed suicide because they couldn't deal with the pain. My own doctor says he has had a couple of patients himself.
It's funny, because I have had these for many years, and I never really researched them too much because I've always just dealt with them the best I could and trusted my doctor. This thread has made me do a few Google searches and I'm quite amazed at some of the stuff I've read....
This is my experience exactly..
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/PainManage...=126909&page=1What can cause a grown man to groan out loud, rock back and forth on the floor, dig his hands into the carpet, cradle his head or crawl on his knees?
The answer is a cluster headache, rare, intensive kind of pain that affects about 1 million Americans ? 90 percent of them male ? according to the National Headache Foundation.
The headaches are so named because they occur in "groups" or clusters, several times a day for several weeks before they subside. Months later, they start all over again.
Taking two aspirin and waiting will not help, says ABCNEWS Medical Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman.
The prevailing explanation for cluster and migraine headaches is that dilation of blood vessels causes the pain. Doctors use oxygen to treat the condition, because it constricts brain blood vessels; researchers are looking at the role of the hypothalamus in the brain.
Like a 'Hot Poker in Your Eye'
Those who suffer from cluster headaches say there's nothing mild about them.
"It feels like you have a hot poker stuck in your eye," says Pat Kelly, a cluster headache sufferer.
"I've had broken bones and burns and I've had nothing compared to it," said Dan Skopek, who got his first cluster headache 10 years ago at age 21.
Though doctors don't know why, men are affected more often than women. Smoking and drinking are notorious headache triggers.
Most cluster headaches have a seasonal rhythm, occurring most often in the fall or the spring.
But up to 20 percent of sufferers have chronic cluster headaches, every day.
"Patients will often cry or scream or pace or pound their heads or their fists against the wall," says Dr. Joel Saper, a neurologist from the Michigan Head-Pain and Neurological Institute. "It's a devastating experience, a torturing experience."
'Suicide Headaches'
Patients and doctors call them suicide headaches.
Dr. Seymour Diamond, of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago, says he has seen cases go to extremes: "The only suicides I've ever seen in any headache patients have been men who have had clusters."
Cluster headache sufferers feel compelled to move around, bang their heads and cry out. Migraine headache patients typically seek a quiet dark room to lie down in. An individual cluster headache lasts 45 minutes to two hours, while migraines can go on for several days.
"You beat your head on the wall, on the floor, because that feels better than the headache," Skopek says. "If the doctors told me that it was my arm that was causing the headaches and I had to have it amputated I would have done it in a second."
After being misdiagnosed and overmedicated, Skopek says he was ready to bid his wife and children goodbye and commit suicide.

Yes, there has been extensive documentation of the suicides and suicidal thoughts; one survey I saw said that more than half of people with cluster headaches had at least considered suicide.
Well, it sounds like yours are a lot closer to clusters than migraines - although from what I understand, the long-lasting ones (3+ hours) aren't that common; mine are usually about 30 minutes which I understand is fairly usual. But the pain part of it....
is from my experience a pretty exact description of the pain from a cluster. At least my wife doesn't freak out anymore when she wakes up and sees me in the bedroom corner like that with my face glued to the window (breathing cold air definitely helps me). Until she got used to it, I went into the bathroom in order to rock, bang the wall and breathe cold air so I wouldn't scare her too much lol.
But the other real defining feature of cluster headaches is that they usually occur at just about *exactly* the same times of day, every day, when you're in a cluster. Ever since I started the verapamil and I was down to (usually) one headache a day, it's 1 1/2 hours after I go to bed, give or take 15 minutes....and it makes you dread going to sleep. And when I get a shadow (which from my understanding is the term that's used for cluster patients rather than aura, which is used for migraine patients - I'm not sure if they really are different or not, but I *think* aura comes with light of some sort, while the shadow is more of a flicker of a headache along with a sense of dread, similar to the sense of dread people supposedly get before a heart attack) - percocets or anything else don't help me, it's just a matter of waiting for it to come. Not sure if the *exact* time thing is part of your headache or not...but I think it makes things even worse, since it's not a matter of hoping you won't get one for a while, you *know* exactly when it's going to come.
That's why the cafergot was such a god-send. Once I started taking it at night before bed (when I was in a cluster) I knew I wouldn't get the headache - and I don't live in a constant state of panic and dread when I'm in a cluster anymore. The only thing I have to be careful of is not being stupid lol --- last year I was in a cluster, but without thinking went out to dinner with my wife for our anniversary. And within 10 minutes of having half a glass of champagne --- bang. (Drinking when you're in a cluster will bring on a headache 99 times out 100 )

Funny enough, glasses stopped mine. Evidently one eye is off just enough that the bit of strain I had when looking at the computer screen triggered an almost 3 week episode.

I've had migraines for a long time.
The best thing I've found for it was called "Duract", but they took it off the market because it caused liver problems. I also used to have the morphene nose spray, but they stopped making it because dumbasses kept killing themselves with it.
After duract the next best thing that has worked for me is Excedrin Migraine, but it tears up my stomach and now I've got ulcers so I guess Execdrin works but depending on how often you get mirgraines prolly not a good long term solution.
A friend of mine takes Nuproxin Sodium (sp?) so I try using that sometimes. I didn't get the script for it, I just take a few aleive. It works, but it takes a while to make it start to ease up, like over mins.
BC Powders can help if you're stuck in a jam and just need something to help you drive home, but they don't chase my migraine much. They wanted to put me on Topomax as a daily preventative, but I am always skittish about taking something daily as a preventative.
The worst thing I've taken was Maxalt. Neurologist gave me some samples and I tried it and almost called an ambulence the pain got so bad.
There's also a shot that they've had to give me a few times, it's not imitrex though. I've had a few migraines that were so bad they went on for days / caused numbness in half my body, that's when I get the shot. Next time they give it to me I'll try to remember what it is. It's something they have to inject deep into tissue and it burns afterwards, but it works.

Those are what I get, I haven't had an aura one for a while because I can usually tell them coming before that point and take somethnig and get somewhere dark before it gets to that point.
Auras are so hard to describe to people too. It's like a flash went off and you loose a spot in your vision. Man, sucks to hear you are in the same boat.
Some tips that have helped me- try not to read w/o glasses, avoid bright lights, only go to see movies that let out in the evening when the sun is down, and always wear sunglasses outside in the daytime.
