I have what the doctor referred to as cluster headaches which he says come from the changing weather. I have gastropareisis so I can't take ibuprophen and I've had one since April. Does anyone else get them and what do they take?

Members shared a variety of approaches for managing severe headaches, with many clarifying the difference between cluster headaches, migraines, and weather-related headaches while encouraging the original poster to seek specialist care and explore the true diagnosis. Several members found relief through prescription medications like Fioricet, Imitrex, pizotifen, and Mirgaleve, as well as over-the-counter options like Sudafed, aspirin with caffeine, and Tylenol, though many emphasized the importance of catching headaches early for treatments to work effectively. A recurring theme was the value of non-medication strategies including cold compresses on the eyes and forehead, chiropractic care for neck tension, rest in a dark room, eucalyptus oil applied to temples and behind the ears, and some members mentioning cannabis or CBD as helpful alternatives when traditional pain relievers are not an option.

One thing that helps me is a cold wash clothe across my eyes and forehead and then trying to rest for a while. If I can fall asleep, even for a few minutes, I usually wake up and the headache is gone.

You should look up cluster headaches. It's very unlikely your getting them from weather.
I get migraines n headaches caused by weather your probably getting those or occipital nerve headaches. I bet you can tell it's going to rain before it does. It's terrible.
These headaches are awful I'm in bed for days. I would ask your doctor for a headache medicine and if you can take Sudafed maybe try that. But my headache doctor told me there's not much about the weather we can do. Hope you feel better.
