Hello 2 every1, quick question?

just a quick hello to everybody on the forum, please be gentle with me.
i know that you have probably been asked this question 100's of times before, but i'm gonna ask it again.
my doctor reckons that i have cluster headaches, but i'm not so sure after reading many posts on this forum. here are my symptoms
feels like somebody drilling into my skull 2" above my right eye, but not deep in my head, literally under the skin
6-8 times a day
lasts for 15mins
so far i believe her, its gotta be cluster headaches, but;
although it really hurts, i can continue doing other things and try to forget about it.
it first happened about 3 years ago, then nothing, but i've had it on and off since November now
some days i don't get anything at all.
so i'm not so sure, after reading some of the suffering people on this forum have to live with, mine doesn't seem too bad.
anyway thanks in advance
Nuld

Nuld, can't help you with that one. Mine are always dead center behind the right eye. Ask your doc for a neuro consult to make sure. I hope it's not CH. There is enough of us out there with these little jewels the way it is.
If it is CH -- welcome to the group of victims.

Welcome aboard and what you describe seems like clusters. Let us know if they wake you out of a sound sleep. It's a good way to tell.

When they are at their worst i have been woken at night, every other headache i've had sleep has been the cure, but this has on occasions woken me, 3 or 4 times a night.
