Is there any medical reason that someone knows of as to why some people get hit on the left side or the right side? Mine have always been behind the left eye and on the left side, left nostril, left eye tearing, etc. and I just wondered why not on the right hand side. Then I notice some people are on the right side of their head. Is there an explanation for this, are the attacks the same in both instances, the same horrible things happening no matter what side of the head it's on or is this just one of those things that just happens? I've read people say theirs have switched sides and is there any plausible reason for this. Stuey

Johnny, you keep doing your oxygen and taking your verapamil. That you perservere is a testament to your character. I really hope you have lengthy periods with no pain. Not to soup you up, but you look so young. How old were you when they first started? I hope to meet you one day and would be interested in hearing your personal struggles with CHs. And to think you had them before there were triptans, I can't begin to imagine what it was like for you or others. Stuey

I am right handed and get them on the left side so I don't think that theory will work. My seizures also start in the left region of my brain for some reason.

Does anyone know why this is? Is there a medical reason or just chance?

Just chance or the good Doc Goadsby would have told us otherwise while Don was in Rome meeting with him.

How are you so sure it is not on the wrong side?

It was only after I was diagnosed as retarded that the clusters hit on the left side. I got smarter and still got them on my left side, so I went back to being retarded.
Doc says if they should switch to my right side, she still wants me to bring in my coloring book.

LMAO Kev!!! No matter what kind of mood I'm in...your posts always make me smile.  Too funny...
Mine are always on the right...maybe about 5-10% of them are on the left? Same goes for my NDPH...always right sided. Every once in awhile I'll go through a couple days with the pain on the left side. It's weird though. Just randomly one day the left side will have all the pain. Might stay that way for a few days, and then bam all back to the right side again. Mutant for sure!!
