'Nother Poll

I think it was mentioned befor but not in poll form. Somewhere a loong time ago I read that there may some sort of connection with head injury and CHs With as much as 6 years before the onset of symptoms. How about 10 years? I don' t know. So for our weekly poll here is the question:
Did you sustain any sort of significant head trauma up to 10 years prior to the time when you began having CHs?
Me exactly 10 years before I started to get CHs (I was 4) I fell off my dad's F-150 roof head first agains the concrete! ;D
(I know, I know, that explains everything...LOL) (That's not even counting the time I got hit, on the head of course, by a shovel {9 years old}, or the time I got hit with a rock {16}, but those were only surface wounds, and not significant.. ohhh, I just remember another one, but I think I' m going to stop now.

Hmmm I have suffered a head injury, but nothing major. The only one I can think of before the CH nightmare kicked into full gear was when I was tobagoning toboganning tabogan.. sledding with the kids.
I was going down the hill at an alarming rate of speed and stopped myself by using my head on a mogul. Worked like a charm, stopped dead in my slide and sat there for several min. after coming too.

Got hit in the head numerous times by frozen disks of rubber growing up. Don't personally think it has anything to due with my CH, but most definately has something to due with the number of missing teeth I have.

I was in 5th grade and I got this crazy idea to shake my head side to side as hard as I could. it was about 2 years later I started getting CH. I still to this day can't turn my head around really fast. I get dizzy and sick. Maybe I shook my brain loose...Does that count as head trauma?

Dave did get in a motorcycle accident but thinks that was a fluke........ He has no idea but he landed on his head...
Another time he had a neck injury(trampoline... what a goober) that triggered them made them come a year early and lasted the longest ever 7 months...
I am hoping you are wrong because I had a concussion this year and already suffer from Migraine........... enough is enough if ya know what i mean...my head is killin me right now because of HIS clusters. I couldnt sleep at all last night. Ree~~~whose signing off for the day to get stuff done... (havin a cootie moment there)

Possible... At 18 months old I was thrown across the room into a wall. The pictures of that black and blue (head to foot) baby are enough to make you puke. I've often wondered if there was a connection.

Knocked myself out twice while working on a plow  . But, nothing major.....just concussions and stitches. Don't know if that would count as head injuries severe enough or not.

There are rumors that my oldest sister dropped me on my head when I was 3 months old... that explains a lot about me, but probably not my CHs

Grew up as a rebel, crashed the bike, crashed the car, was hit once in the temple with a rock, skied into a fence post and was knocked out in addition to several fights. so the answer is yes and I'm sure there were way more times then I can remember.
My father also had these monsters.

LOL Ozz - I don't really think my sister dropped me, that was just my family picking on me for being so strange.
I did think of two other instances (about 10 years before my clusters started) in little league baseball I got knocked out by a line drive (the baseball left the imprint of stitches in my head for weeks) and another game where I had a head on collision with the catcher trying to catch the same baseball. (Yes, we were like the bad news bears  )
You could probably mark mine to a yes...

When I was a kid, my sister hit me in the head with a baseball bat (no kidding). 
Does that count?
CH started when I was 21ish.

5 years before my first CH cycle, I underwent spinal surgury to replace a blown disk in my neck (C4-C5). The disk blew out about 18 months before that, but no insurance so I had to wait 18 months before Voc Rehab finally picked up my case (long story). I'm not sure if neck stuff counts for this survey, but my gut feeling is that my surgury and my CH are somehow connected.
Boy, nothing like having a group of strangers knock you out, tie you down, slit your throat, and wield sharp pointy things around your spinal cord to remind you just how precious, and fragile, Life is. ;D

Nope, no head injury that I know of. Only thing I got was whiplash when I was 16. Was leaning over, changing the radio station in my boyfriend's car (not buckled) when a deer jumped out in front of us. After that happened, my neck would freeze up, and I couldn't turn it. My CH's began not too long after that.

I belong to another online support group for traumatic brain injury survivors and family (wife was in a coma for 7 weeks).
Several people there complain of daily headaches, though I can think of only one who said it was cluster headaches. I think I'll go ask the question.

Not enough fingers to count the concussions I've had over the years... (hockey)
One particular concussion 6 months prior to my first CH that required a hospital stay.

Will let run for another day or so and will post the tally. It seems so far over 90% (made up numbers, too lazy and tired to really figure it out) of sufferers had some sort of head injury.
Interesting...
Maybe that's why, we, as a bunch, just ain' t right!! ;D

Grew on a commercial fishing boat and spent 4 years in the Marines (68-72), how many times I was knocked out had stiches or both. I don't know. Way to young and stupid to keep track.
