So far, most of the stories I've read are pertaining to the right side of the head. Does anybody get it on the left side like me, or am I special? LoL, Seriously though... Also, what is an 02 tank?

An O2 tank refers to Oxygen Tanks. Check out the info to the left
Oh and you have to be "special" in soooo many ways to be in this group. But there's lots of info and support here when you need it.

I'm a lefty too and I've had (thankfully very few) a few stabs to the right too. There are several people here who have had it switch sides and there have been several theories about left handed left sided and so on, none of which hold water!

Lefty here too...and I'm also left-handed, but I think that is just a coincidence. I have never had the sides switch on me.

Both left and right sides, the worse being on the right.

Right handed. Both son's left handed. CH generally on right side, but will switch from time to time just to keep me on my ambidextrous toes.

30 years. Left side only. Never had a righty.
My brother doesn't have clusters but does have a left handed wife. She's weird. He's worse off than I'll ever be.

Haha! I'm right handed as well. I've never had one on the right side though.

Always on my left side. Started in 1977, and get them every other year for anywhere from 8--to--12 weeks. During my twenties and thirties they were their worst...but even now I really hate getting them.

I am a right-handed person who almost always experiences left-side headaches. I am 54 and have been a sufferer since I was 15. In my teens they would switch sides but early on decided they liked the left side of my head better!
I am currently not in cycle but thought I would check in to see what's new. Good luck. There is so much helpful info here.

I'm a definite left-sider! My clusters only started when my epileptic seizures stopped, is this the same for anyone else?

Will,
I am a lefty also. In fact all of my CH's have been only on the left side.
Hope you are doing better. Stay strong.
This is my first posting as I just joined yesterday. It's great to be able to talk with other CHers.

Hi Will: I'm a right handed, left side episodic cluster veteran of 22 yrs. I've always thought a right side episode would be nice for a change. Any righties want to trade?
I'm glad to have found this site!

Given the pedigree already shown by left siders I'm delighted to be able to include myself in such notable company.
Suffered for years as an annual episodic misdiagnosed, mistreated after years of experience I'd suggest O2 (ideally through a clustermasx - look up the threads there are long and short stories on thve racked up at) and a visit to the clusterbusters website are worth a few minutes of anyone's time who suffers with CH - it's the best I can come up with.
But you know what ?
For a lot of people it's a fantastic set of options compared to the alternatives.

Yes Many left sided episoded. Most infact. Over 18 years 98% left sided. Sorry to tell you but they are getting worse from age 40 -50.

I'm a left-sided sufferer. But, on occassion, some of the pain radiates or mirrors on the right.

I'm right handed and suffer on left side only. Only time I use my left hand is when I want some strange.

Life may not be good, but I think it beats the alternative, and if it doesn't, we'll find out soon enough

Hi,
I am a new clusterhead. Have had them for about 5 straight years now. Left side only. Just about drives a person insane, especially 3 in the morning. You are not alone. I started with them when I turned 50. The first one took 2 shots of morphine to make it subside. At first just early morning, started last year during the day. I would rather go to the dentist.

Currently right sided. Last cluster period was right sided, too. Up until a few years ago, they were almost always on the left.
I am extremely right handed.
