So I finally saw a headache specialist today. He said that they were cluster headaches. We had a chat about where to go from here. He said he'll write a letter to my GP outlining the medication I need to be prescribed (steroids and Varapamil) as well as the injections being essential for if/when I get the headaches. He said that the injections are a last resort and they should be able to find the right combination of drugs that means I'll be able to live normally if/when I have another cluster.
Although it's still a bit up in the air, I feel better having spoken to someone who knows what they are talking about.
