How do you cope with cluster headaches?!

Anyone? If you've experienced it? I was diagnosed with this yesterday. Been having it for 5 weeks, and didn't know what it was. I think mine is mild, but still very painful. I don't have the whole "I'm going to commit suicide" thing. It's just very tough to cope with. I guess mine is just a mild case. I can very much tolerate it, but it's still hurts like all hell. Taking prescribed pain killers, which seem to be doing the trick. I hope all who suffer from the severe ones, find peace soon. I thought I was living in hell for the past 5 weeks, I can't imagine what others must go through. I get them probably every 3 days, some lasting from 3-12 hours, in which it reaches a peak, then gets steadily tolerable as the day progresses. Since taking the pain killers, I've yet to have it. Hopefully a neurologist can help me through this.
Just looking for tips some people use to help with it. Any suggestions? Do ice packs on the eyes helps? Like I said, the pain is mild, but typically last longer than most.
