Title: Headaches and strokes
Post by dudiesmom on Oct 3^rd, 2002, 4:11am

My Mom had a stroke in March :-[ she has continuously had a headache ever since. It comes and goes several times a day. I plan to give her this websites test. She has an inflamed nerve above her eye but the doctors have not been able to help with the headaches. Could a stroke bring on cluster headaches. We are at a loss as to what to do for her, they just knock her on her butt when they hit. Nothing seems to relieve them.
Would love some feedback.
Thanks

Thank you for your quick reply- can't sleep either! They just switched medical facilities and we hope this doctor will send her to a neurologist. The previous facility refused to do any referrals (HMO) and so we researched all the facilities available and found the only one in the area that got a star for referral processes. So we really hope this happens.
Thanks again
