When you get an cluster headache do you get a really sharp pain in your eye like someone shoving needles in your eye and it waters?

Yes it is like a red-hot poker sticking into your eye.

Heavy duty breathing excersices can actually eliminate the headache but you need to know how to do it properly and for how long. I used to do it till my lips and fingers would get numb, then back off a tad, but kept it up. It does work wonders as does an oxygen tank.

I was on Imitrex which worked great for me, but I really dont like taking that heavy duty drug.

I've finally sured them and didn;t know it, but my wife figured it out. I had begun taking sertraline HCL (Zoloft) for anxiety, but the increased concentration of serotoniun in the trigeminal nerve systme seems to have been enough that I dont get them anymore.

I hope this info can help you or someone else!!!!
