It seems that in the past I've been able to ward off the full blown cluster cycle. When I would start getting the tightness/burning in my temple or jaw joint, I'd hit the doctor up for Meprobamate (brand name Equagesic, Equanil, Miltown). It is an anti-anxiety agent, I believe concidered a mild tranqualizer. It is not nearly as strong as Valium, but it seemed to do the trick. I took it several times a day for a week or two, and the headaches never broke through all the way. Just disapeared. Best wishes for you, Rich
