Hi everyone,
I am not sure if I suffer from Cluster headaches or not. Here is what is going on (obviously a Dr.visit is in the near future)
I am 29 yrs old but this all started about 6 or 7 yrs ago. The headaches would come on so strong and incapacitate me ..fetale position, feeling like someone had a drill going behind my right eye, nausea, hot flashes then cold, usually followed up with and exhausted sleep. This cycle would take no more than 4 hrs before I was up and OK usually. This would happen 2-4 times a week. Then as quickly as this seemed to start it all ended, until about a month ago.
After a 3or 4 yr break in this hell it seems to be back in full force. In the last week alone I have 3 episodes.
People that I have talked to.... wife, co-workers ,and arm-chair doctors all say its Migranes..but after a little reading from this site and a few others Im leaning torwards Cluster Headaches.
Well I will be starting the process to help ASAP but for now its good to know Im not alone out there.
Thanks

First, I would recommend getting a referral to a good neurologist. Secondly, I suggest you read as many links as possible through the buttons to the left of your screen. You may also want to check out this link for more information: http://www.ouch-us.org/chinfo1.htm
I'm sorry for the pain you're going through, and hope you find some relief soon.
Take care,
mel
