Hi every one, today i have found out that i to suffer with cluster headaches and to be honest i have never experienced pain like it, i have been in that much pain it as made tears come to my eyes and to be honest did not know which way to turn. my doctor has been great and i have got injections for when the pain comes again and i am on a course of steroids. I have had 5 attacks in the last month and to of them was when i was in the air going on holiday and i really wanted to jump out of the plane, i stayed in the toilets for the whole journey, i had one attack today which lasted over 2 hours and got a lift to the doctors who could see the pain i was in, also none stop vommiting, the pain is in my left eye and i really felt like pulling my eye out. It has helped me reading all your comments and especially the oxygen that can help. any way thanks for letting me understand exactly what you guys are going throuh i wudnt wish this pain on anyone,, thanks again liam

Hi Liam
Have you had a neuro diagnosis hon? I ask as with over 600 headache types many symptoms do overlap and treatment for one condition can kill you if taken for another.
What meds if any have you been prescribed and have you ever had episodes like this before?
I know I seem dead nosey but in order to give you the best help possible there are some things we should ask.
By the way, is Northampton in NI or RoI? Once again I ask as advice will be different for each side of the border.
Hang in there, we'll do all we can to help

Hi guys, no attack for 2 days and as i have had 5 attacks in 6 weeks and am sitting here thinging when the next one is gona come and dreading the fear of pain i will go through. Reading all your positive comments is helping me so much, and i am getting a much better understanding of what it is. I am on my second day of steroids and carry my injection pack every where with me hoping that if i do i suffer another attack that the injection will help some or all of the pain. My doctor is also trying to bring my appointment with the Nero forward from August. Thanks to all those who replied and made me welcome. Slainte Liam
