Hi Cindy I feel for your hubby because I too get cluster/migrain headaches......my migrains will turn into a cluster headache lasting days. I have also gone to the hospital before to get IV'd with meds...I am not sure what they gave me though.....I know it was not demerol. You can get demerol in a pill format...will your reg doctor not prescribe him a few just for when he has pain. I have learned to live with the pain and find once I kept a journal I could figure out what were my triggers. If my diet has not been good....alot of proccessed food etc is one trigger, lack of sleep, stress, change in humidity because I know what triggers them I can be more aware and try and stop the cycle. As soon as I feel any type of headache pain I take an extra strength advil and half a gravol....it can bring it down to a liveable headache without the floor spinning on me. I have tried all the migrain meds and they do not help....just make me feel lousy. The best was a migrain med they gave me through IV....I felt like a million bucks after that....wish I could remember the med.......you will have to ask a doctor...It did not make me drousy or anything...I remember the doc saying if you feel better once the med is in we know it was a migrain.

Hope he can get soem relief soon...it is no fun at all to live with the headaches
