HELP-Newbie question

The doc's are trying to figure out what is wrong with me?? I had the mother of all headaches this past week off and on for 3 days. I paced......I thought some infection was eating my cheekbone..........I bawled because I couldn't take the unrelenting pain any more. I tried Tylenol, Advil, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone. I know I took too much pain medication, I didn't care I wanted the pain to go away. The most "relief" I got was for an hour at a time. It was all on the right side of my head, but I also had swelling - my right cheek, my top lip and the space between my top lip and my nose??? I read here that some have swelling of the eye on that side and it waters. I really didn't notice that but my vision on that side did seem a little out of whack for those few days. I had never heard of cluster headaches until the ear,nose & throat doc they referred me to said I most definitely didn't have sinus infection like 2 other docs said and is going to send me to a neurologist for an MRI. Let me know if you have had any of these symptoms or can offer any words of help. Thanks for anything you have to offer!!

Hi beal, it doesn't sound like CH to me, but I'm no doc. Check out the clusterquiz on the left, it may help you rule CH out.
Regarldess, pain sucks.

Right below my eye on the affected side sometimes swells up a little bit ... if it's a really bad hit. I have no other swelling. I haven't heard of other CH sufferers describe the swelling that you are describing.
Get thyself to a neuro as soon as possible. Hopefully it's not clusters.
Goodluck

I don't have those symptoms your describing but as the others have said, I'm no doc either. It sounded like it was a continuous pain the way you were explaining it, is that correct?
I hope you can get an explanation soon, let us know how you make out with the MRI.
Painfree wishes coming at ya.
Sean.............................

Doesn't sound like cluster headache, but it sounds as if it hurts like hell.
I'm not a doctor, but...
Again, see the neurologist--I don't like the swelling thing at all. That's not characteristic of CH.
Let us know what you find out.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Thanks for replying!
I'll update you on what I find out Monday at the Neurologist or at least our next plan of action.
