**Left Side Pain**

I've been reading a lot of everyone's posts and it sounds like most of you have left side pain when your cluster headaches are occuring.
My headaches ALWAYS occur on the left side...usually it is a dull pain in my left eye, and sometimes it can be a throbbing pain...i also get throbbing pains in other area's of the left, always on the front of my face...sometimes near the ear. But like I said the pain is almost always in my left eye!
I'd love for everything to post and tell whether they get pain in the left, right, or both sides...im just curious...thanks!

My pain has always been on the left side-left eye, behind left eye, left eye socket. Cluster HAs can occur on either side and rarely change sides and I have not heard of a case where the pain is bilateral. One of the diagnostic tools used to dx CH is that the pain always occurs on one side and in the areas that I mentioned. My regrets that you have CH-I hope that it is episodic (mine is chronic) and that you enjoy months or years between attacks.

Left.
Clusters usually don't throb. More of a very sharp, constant, burning pain.

They aren't a "dull pain," either! More of an extremely severe, boring/burning, bang your head on a door post kind of pain.
BTW, right side here.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I asked about left handed/right handed compared to left/right CH's awhile back. No correlation. Seems the Beast hits whatever side it feels like.
Mine have been right sided 90 % of the time. I've had a few cycles on the left though.

Always Left, behind left eye, seems to center at the left side at the base of my skull and fans out to encompass the left side of my head.... never dull ... always an intense burning.... feels as if hot lava is being injected at the base of the skull, in my skull, etc... you all know the deal ...

I have had my CH switch sides but it occured only when I first started having them (16 years old). My cycles didnt seem to be as well "organized" as they are now either. Now that Im a little older (23), I always get hit on the right and my cycles are predictable. On either side of the head, they suck ass!!
