Thanks for starting this. I am also a 39yo male that suffers from cluster headaches. I have only been dealing with them for two years though. Lack of sleep and dehydration also trigger mine, but I was found to be vitamin D deficient also. Taking Vitamin D and getting enough sunlight have both helped reduce the occurrences, but in no way have made them go away.
While the pain is excruciating, I have the hardest time with people's reaction to cluster "headaches". They do not understand the severity of the pain. They respond with statements like, "oh, I understand. I get migraines every once in a while." I stand there thinking, "migraines! I'll trade with you any day!"
