Hello all,
I'm new here and this is my first posting. I've been dealing w/these headaches for about 4 years now. I've been to the doctor 3 times for it,rode the tube,took x-rays.....nothing wrong.
the last time I went he diagnosed it as cluster headache, that was 1 year ago.I've got another app.this fri. cause I had a real bad attack 1 1/2 weeks ago and since then the left side of my head won't stop stabbing me. This really sucks.
I was wondering if anyone had advise on what to ask him when I go.
Thanks.

Hi 5-string! Welcome to the site! Sorry you're getting beat by the beast.
If you haven't been to a neurologist yet, have your doctor set you up with one. There are tons of things here that you can print off and give to your doctor. Have you been keeping a journal of your headaches? That helps tremendously!
Keep us posted on your progress. Again Welcome and wishes for Pain Free Days and Nights (PFDAN)

Hi 5 String,
Welcome to the board. Sorry you had need to find us.
I would recommend you go through the pages and print out any information regarding Oxygen, Imitrex, and verapamil, as well as go to the OUCH site and print a copy of the convention write up for him.
While you're there, Join OUCH, it's free 
Here's the link:
http://www.clusterheadaches.org/members/discus/messages/23/235.html?1059 439478
You will need to join in order to access the business board and get the write up 
I wish you all the best of luck!
Cat
