I get them too... like clockwork, 3 days before my cycle I get them and I am in bed for at least 3 days.
If you have been diagnosed with Cluster Migraines, you need to stay away from certain foods, wine, aged cheese, salted meats even bananas. Keep hydrated and get lots of rest. One thing that did help is to have been put on Depo-Provera 104mg once every three months. This kept my hormones alot more regular. It is the drop in estrogen and increase in testosterone that causes Cluster Migraines. These are more common in males. Why? Testosterone, so keeping your hormones more in balance does help.
If that fails, I see a Neurologist who prescribes me migraine medication. He has also put me on a vasodilator. It is a low dose blood pressure pill. Not because my blood pressure is high, but because this helps the blood vessels from constricting, which in turn causes migraines.
This has helped ALOT!!
Finding out if there is a trigger, for you and me it is our cycle. But just know there is hope!!

Contact your GYNO or general practitioner. They may prescribe migraine medication for you. You could also try to just get well hydrated as most headaches are caused by mucsles tightening and water will alleviate soe of that. Do you also keep up with your normal eating habits when this occurs? I would suggest it if you're not.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Talk to your doctor, it could just be the hormones, but maybe the lack of sleep is making it worse. Maybe there is something you can do to help get enough sleep to get rid of the headaches, or maybe doc will have some other ideas for you.
