Seeking advice on what’s next

Hello all,

I’ve been dealing with what I BELIEVE to be cluster head aches for years now. I think since about 2019. To share the symptoms, I will feel a slight pain in my left temple, then it will become more severe and move to my left back molars, then finally move up to an excruciating pain behind my left eye.

My left eyelid will droop, I become extremely sensitive to light, and my nose becomes slightly runny. This will happen everyday for about 2-3 weeks maybe a month. For the longest time it came in eras of about 6 months. I just recently had remission of at least 2 years. I had honestly completely forgotten about them until I was driving back home yesterday. I think the trigger here is usually changing of seasons, we are also getting hit with constant rain for the entire week.

With all these being said, what have yall done for relief and or treatment? I’m tired of just waiting this out everytime. I currently just take otc pain meds and rub peppermint oil on my temples. Which helps a decent bit.
