Hi all, I’m happy to find this subreddit and appreciate the support here. I’ve been officially diagnosed with cluster headaches and am on short-term disability from work. My last cycle started about two weeks ago and was severely affecting my ability to focus at a high-demand job.

I’ve seen doctors and tried steroids, Nurtec, vitamin D3, and Emgality, but I’m still in a cycle. Five years ago I thought it was sinus-related and had turbinate reduction surgery with an ENT. Now, with a new specialist and ENT, they think it may have been a coincidence that my last cycle ended around that surgery.

I’m looking for any suggestions or experiences that helped others get through a current cycle. What has worked for you, and what should I try next?
