I get cluster headaches a few times a year in 4-6 week episodes. I'll get 1 or 2 a day for that entire 4-6 weeks, then they'll just go away. I can tell you first hand that this is the most excruciating pain a human can go through. I always get the pain in the EXACT same place each time, just behind my right eye, and it feels like I'm being stabbed over and over again with an ice pick.
Had them for the last 20+ years, and I would do ANYTHING to get rid of them. I get Botox near the trigger points, i have a pure oxygen tank with full mask to try and stop the attacks, I carry Imitrex injections while I'm having an episode, I've taken different concoctions of pills as suggested by my neurologist, but I haven't heard of this yet. You can bet I'll look into it though...
