    Oh no! Cluster headaches are awful! I am one of the very lucky ones who had one episode of this and then it stopped. Quite often you find they come back at the same time each year. I sympathise with him – it is beyond headache! The main cause of it is smoking – the blood vessels narrow at the temple and you get a terrible feeling of pressure and intense pain localised in that spot for an hour to an hour and a half at the same time each day. Unfortunately it does not help to stop smoking. The good news is they go completely for several months.

    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.Cluster headaches have been classified as vascular headaches. The intense pain is caused by the dilation of blood vessels which creates pressure on the trigeminal nerve. While this process is the immediate cause of the pain, the etiology (underlying cause or causes) is not fully understood.
    Recently, researchers have linked low testosterone as a possible cause of cluster headaches

    I have suffered from cluster headaches for 3 years now. It is the most intense pain I have ever experienced. I wish I had an answer as to why they occur. I feel for your husband, these headaches are worse than childbirth!
