he has been to see Chiropractors in the past but becomes terribly expensive (of which i cant afford but he said you feel great for the next 24 hours but then you pain is back agin so costing you more money into chiropractors...
i have been dong quote a few certain head and neck execises from youtube.....yesterday i had a full day where i felt great and no head pain... but today its a tight 'head band' head pain' and thumping.... truely fed up of this now after 8 weeks... no pain relievers seem to help.. not even ibuprofen...

Try a massage from a proper massage (sports massage?) therapist.
Long shot I know, and i'm really not trying to be flippant, but I remember reading somewhere that small amounts of LSD or magic mushrooms have been known to relieve frequent headaches.
Might be worth trying, doesnt sound like much else is working.

These remedies have been mentioned in connection with Cluster Headaches, more likely they distract you than have any medicinal effect
Have you tried Sumitriptan, think its sold as Imigran in the chemist. Not cheap at 8 quid per 100mg which is one dose, but worth a try
I use this in injection form along with the tablets and nasal sprays for Cluster Headache and its very effective as an abortive treatment
Sometimes need to resort to a short high dose of Steroids (Prednisolone 60mg a day for five days)to break up a very bad attack
Don't for one minute think you have CH, but the Sumitriptan could be worth a shot if ordinary painkillers have no effect
think its sold as Imigran in the chemist.
That's Imigran Recovery. It's available over the counter, but you'll have to be cross-examined by the pharmacist first. Once you've passed their tests, they should give you a card so that you don't have to go through that faff again.
im alergic to Shrooms (mushrooms) 😉
