Title: How long did your longest headache last?
Post by Jenny G on Oct 19th, 2002, 4:03pm
My headaches usually last 30 minutes to 1 hour. Today I had one last almost FOUR hours.

Yes, this was full on blown kip 10 cluster the entire time. I thought I was gonna die and my eye was going to pop out.

I actually went to the ER and walked out cursing because of the wait!  So embarassing, now that I think about it.

Has this ever happened to anyone, where you had an incredibly LONG cluster?

Last time I remember that kinda thing, I ended up as the Hospital (central suffolk - smithtown - jack you know that place...) anyway they kept giving me different things (shots) and I ended up really messed up.  Lasted the whole afternoon and after that I went to a wedding!  LOL.  Can't believe I went home, took shower, got dressed and sat at that table at the wedding and no one knew I was FUCKED UP only a short time ago................CH IS WEIRD................

6 hours - but let me say that it is possible there were multiple "cascading" CH's wherein I did not recognize the short breaks between.  I frequently, however, have long ones - usually 3+ hours...

I really think they're cascading multiples that just sequence one after another so I don't recognize the breaks...  My usual duration is about 2-3 hrs.

My longest ever was only about an hour at "full blast".  Had a handful that never reached high octane that lasted longer. but that was rare.

Like Jonny, that was in my no-meds days.  Seems like the old adage is true - we are all just a little different......

I am gonna be careful how I answer here. Most of the time the run of the mill CH last me between 1 and 3 hours, varying between 2 and 8 on the Kip. However, I have had, on a few rare occasions a real crainum buster hit a Kip 7,8 or 9 and stay there for over 6 hours and then slowly fade to heavy ghost, but only a few of times in the last couple of decades. I save Kip 10 because I think I have only really had a dozen or so in my life. I have hurt enough to consider the last word in the description, I just think it is a permenant solution to a temporary problem.  
I also have had cycles so quick that as many as 8 to 12 HA in 24 could happen, but as I age that seems to have gone away(?), at least for now. I am too scared to say to much of anything with certainty because as soon as I do this fricking disease will turn on my in a new and un-tried way.

The first few years I would get them for about 3 hours, do the ER thing but now the really bad ones only seem to last about an hour. Yesterday had one for 3 hours but was only kip 5/6. Last night went to a wedding and drank lots of vodka, was pf all night. This is the 3rd weekend of my cycle and so far each weekend that I drank alot of vodka I would be pf. Don't know if its just a coincedence but I'm about ready to stay drunk till this crap ends.

;D ;D My attacks have been consistant for the entire 33 Years, 20-30 min's if I could get to the cold water or ice at the moment of onset, 45 to 1 1/2 hrs. if I could not, My longest was a year- then I came home from Vietnam Alive! With a whole new moral value system! The funny part is because I started self medicating with heroin I was actually back a few months before I quit the Horsedance and the headaches resurfaced, lucky for me I had them documented in Nam! Ovet there G.I.Gin was the answer to everything. A pint bottle of codeine and back to the field. Too bad I was alergic to codiene, no one would believe me except the guys that lived with me in my hooch, thats how I got started with the Heroin, one of them said he couldn't sit by and watch me suffer like this any longer so he gave me my first toot with out telling me what it was, worked like a gem!

I've historically had the 1 1/2 hour CH's twice a day, but this cycle has me totally guessing.  'Trex injections usually work like a charm, and they still do, but for this cycle if I take an injection, I've got another CH 5 hours later.

If I don't take any meds at the moment, the CH hangs on for about 3 hours full bore, and then deals me heavy heavy ghosts for a full 12 hours.  But .... once the ghosts vacate, I'm PF for 3 days.  Don't have a clue what to do at this stage.  Trex every 5 hours, or suffer for 12 hours to get 3 days PF??

Frustrated,

Prior to being introduced to Imatrix ( injections ) appro. 3-years ago,I use to get many of them that would last from 5-7 hours at a time.  This past Sept.13, I had one that lasted 11 1/2 hours( with a kip scale 10- lasting 7-hours)this odd long attack i can only guess was due to this new medication called frova that i took for 2 - days prior to this long attack ( yes i injected myself twice with the imatrix with no releif from it ). By the way,that was the first time that the imatrix has failed to rescue me from the beast,again i can only contribute that to the frova ( which if you offered me a million dollars i would never touch it again ).If there is anyone out there that does use frova and it works for you,i have the rest of my script less 2 pills,FREE for the taking.

Congrats y'all!  I have some good news.  I have reliable information that the know-it-alls have determined that if your attacks last longer than an hour or so, you don't have clusters, so it appears most of us who replied to this thread can all go home.  Isn't it great for ppl who aren't doctors, and have little to none formal training in clusters or any other headaches have decided we don't need to worry about having clusters?  That's big load off my shoulders for sure.  Have a great non-cluster day!

No Jonny.  You've got it wrong.  Dork^Angle came over here because he felt the people over at hub's and Donna's posts were telling him he didn't have clusters.

He came back to the thread to rally his troops.

Go ahead, tell me I don't clusters.

I'd think you could at least have enough decency not to resort to name calling, but I guess I was wrong.  Finally... Bob...

Bob... I think you need to take a break, and grow up.  I don't mind debating this with you, but let's leave the name calling to the playground.  We're both adults, and perhaps we should keep this at an adult level.  

I'm not whining... I'm not trying to "run over and say, hey you guys, look what they said about us"... After all... Most of the ppl from this thread prolly read those other threads also.  I just felt that my post was better suited for this thread than the other 2 threads opened to attack this thread.  

I don't see where my break from the MB has anything to do with this discussion.  If you're trying to insult me, you may need to find another way to do it, because I'm not sorry I took that break.  I still believe it was better than continuing the argument that DJ obviously wanted to stop (although it doesn't seem to have slowed down the BS any).

Finally, the right to use nicknames on this board is coded into the MB programming.  If DJ had not wanted ppl to use nicknames, he would've informed the users of this intent.  If you don't like it, so be it.  I've been using this nick on the internet for about 4 years now, and I'm not about to change it, just because you don't like it.  As I've said before... I don't give a damn what the know-it-alls think.

Com'mon DRK, I can't honestly feel that anyone here ever found humor in anyone elses pain.

Anyone seemingly making fun or insulting are including themselves simply because they live here.

I can make fun of myself anytime and do it often.

The symptoms for clusterheadaches have remained the same for about 40 years.  The fact that they are now mutating (started this very year) merely means that we have to inform Dr. G. that they are changing and adjust our way of thinking.

Being a creature of habit, this is difficult for me.

Donna... No offense to you, because I didn't think your thread was try to make fun of others.  But how would it make you feel if you were to answer a post about how long your longest attack was, and then later read on a thread, someone making a joke about either the thread you answered, or the exact post you made?  

Some ppl here think it's really damn funny that some ppl are cursed with pain that may not last the same amount of time as their's, or may not be at the same level as their spouses, or maybe they handle it differently than their child.  It seems to me as though most here like to quote the IHS, and their all knowing IHC, but most like to ignore certain parts, such as where it says that although the majority of attacks will be used to determine the diagnosis, some attacks may not fit the criteria, but doesn't change the over all diagnosis.  That means that someone can have up to 8 attacks a day, lasting 15 mins to 3 hours, unilaterally severe pain, with a watery eyes, stuffy nose, and horner's, and suddenly, end up with a random attack that doesn't fit the "norm".  Maybe they had a long attack... Maybe they didn't get the other symptoms... Maybe it wasn't quite a severe pain.  But if anyone dares to have an attack that doesn't fit, no matter how many normal attacks they have, they are made fun of here, or told that they don't have clusters, or permanently mocked.

How many here have been told by someone, "They can't be that bad."  or "Take a couple aspirins, and you'll be okay."?  Yet you dare to assume that you can tell someone else that they can't possibly be hurting that bad, or that long, or in that way?   That's bullshit.  Plain and simple.  And if anyone dares to complain, then God help them, because no one else will.  

In elementary school, I was taught a simple little phrase, "Do unto others, as you would want done unto you"  As a kid, never much understood it too well... Hell... I don't think any kid does... That goes with childhood.  But we are not children anymore.  We age comes growth, intellegence, experience, and knowledge.  But how many times have I seen someone complain that such and such just doesn't understand what I go through, only to turn around a belittle someone that don't react to the pain the same way they do, or it doesn't act the same way.

Of course... CH can't be different between different ppl.  Everyone should react the same to the pain... Everyone should have the exact same symptoms, lasting the same amount of time, with the same cycles... Everyone's treatments should be the exact same... Water X 3 should be a universal cure, and ice should be a universal abortive... The pain should even be on the same side for everyone.  And if anyone dares try to say differently, then damn them to the pits of Hell for all eternity... Because CH cannot be different!  So let it be written, so let it be done, so sayeth the know-it-alls.

Just because I prolly couldn't, doesn't mean that others wouldn't be able to.  Different ppl react differently to the pain.  Pain is relative, and subjective.  Not everyone is going to react the same way to it.  And just because they react differently, or may have a different perception of the kip scale, doesn't mean they don't have clusters.  I'm sure I act differently during an attack than you do, but I'll never assume that you do not have clusters.

The primary debiltating feature of cluster is the pain.  Not everyone is going to have the same level of pain, and not everyone is going to react the same to the pain.  You can not determine another's pain by comparing them to yourself.  It is not possible.

Have you seen those tests he was talking about?  If it was filling in the blank, then I may agree with you, but the test is multiple choice.  He could just as well have gotten lucky when he took the test.  I don't know.  But I definitely don't feel we should be the judge if they have CH based on that, and I'll definitely not assume that I can judge.

I've known some ppl who be able to rate their hangovers as a "kip 9" because all you need is the "Why me?" syndrome.  Then there's the newbies that don't even read the kip scale before they proclaim that they got a "kip 10".  I am not a supporter of the kip scale because it is based on perception and reaction, but then again, how the Hell do you rate the pain otherwise?  Am I the only one that sees the fault in assuming that someone doesn't have clusters because they may have said they have a "kip 10" while on the 'puter?  Maybe if the kip scale was a definite measure of the pain, then you'd be able to draw a line where the pain becomes debilitating, but it is not.

Im so glad you can type with a 10

Like I said, CH is CH and if you can type while claiming your at the top of the pain scale you aint got CH, Very simple.

I think the whole dang thing is bogus.

I either have a CH or I don't.

No in between.  No half strength attack.  All or nothing.

It starts, in 5 minutes it's as bad as it can get.

When it's time to stop, I'd say about 1 mminute, if that, and it's gone.

I never have bought this 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 crud.

I will say, there is no way someone with a cluster attack is gonna play on the pooter.

You may reach a Kip 10 much later than another person, but a Kip 10 is THE ultimate pain and not one living person can function at that level.

Now the Kip Scale needs a little revision.........it starts at 10, the point at which no one can function, no one can stand the pain, and then work your way down.

Do we talk the same language now?

I'm kinda lost in this debate as I haven't been able to discern its real origin. Is a post deleted?  Anyway:

Thanks Bob. Finally, I can say that I don't use the Kip thing either. It doesn't work like that for me. All I know is that in about 30 seconds I was a mess.

No way could I type without destroying my keyboard or breaking my wrist while beating the desk to splinters.  

Tests? The only test I could have taken would have been muzzle velocity.  

I don't think pain thresholds work with CH. CH falls into only one description: Complete debilitating horror.

Drk, the know-it-all have one rule, and I think the know-less-than-all should either accept this rule too or refrain from public utterances.
Rule:
When discussing something in a large group, it is of utmost importance to agree on a common terminology.
Pain is something subjective, there is no pain'O'meters on the market, and therefore Kip created his scale. It is certainly not perfect, feel free to propose something better, but in the meantime go back and read it (once more?) and if you still insist that a Kip #8 or #9 has room for working a computer then you have not grasped the concept of a common language. IMHO that guy was just bragging about his pain (mine is worse than yours) like he was about his so-called IQ quotient.
The same holds true for the IHS criteria for CH. They serve to exclude a 12 hour "Kip #10" sinus headache that strongly interferes with work. This is necessary to advance the research on cluster headaches. The catch-all headache pill is best left to science fiction.

Drk, you complain a lot about the "name callers", but the anonymous whole sale slander in your foot line is far more offensive :(.

        second opinion.....cause they sure as hell
        don't have clusters.

    2. Anybody that says they have had 8 hour

Verrrry interesting...  Now, I think that people with up to a KIP 5-6 could be on the 'puter - I've done it...it's hard, but it's possible.  Higher than that I sincerely doubt anyone would have enough interest or stamina in that as opposed to the pain.At a 7-10, ALL I can think of is the pain.  I'v ehad a 10, ended up in the ER and wanted to LITERALLY DIE DIE DIE.  Anyone who doubts that or that I have CH's just talk to my son who was with my and crying because he couldn't do anything to help me and had never seen anyone in that much pain.  Now, I HAVE had 6 hr. CH's or that's they way they appeared and felt to me although I'll admit the distinct possibility that they were multiple cascading CH's bteween which I did not recognize the breaks.  I also esceeded the "official definition" of "up to 8 CH's per day" as I counted them years ago and had up to 13/day.  Definitions of something the human body goes through cannot be static - htere are almost always exceptions to any medical definition.  They are general parameters that fit most cases, but not all - there's always an aberration in anything -take a statisitcs course and you'll see....  I think the point trying to be made here (and I recognize that maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but WTF) is that CH's are NOT balck and white - there ARE Grey areas...  Just my take on all this  - Jim R

Shut the fuck up Dumbass Dork, Fuck you!  Is that better?  No?  C'est la vie.  (I guess this is what it feels to talk to a wall of solid rock)  Okay then... Fine... All you highly trained doctors, have fun diagnosing ppl based on a few lines that someone may type over the internet.  All I can say is that y'all must be very highly trained and educated in headaches to be able to determine what is wrong with someone just from a few words over the internet.  I didn't know that doctors could do that.  I do have one suggestion... Seeing as though you are so highly trained and educated, why don't you try telling ppl what they have, instead of what they don't?  And telling someone that they have migraines isn't a diagnosis, because there's almost as many type of migraine as there are tattoos on Jonny.

U... Well... You're offended?  Then perhaps ya need to heed the advice of the disclaimer then.

KIP.
I've had one 6 and all the rest have been 7s, if I take the text "literally". I can't do anything more complicated than walking (slowly) while at 7. If the pain was so low (6) that I could  sleep, I could probably (briefly) surf the net too. Dunno about taking an IQ test, though.

Forgot: average length of an attack is maybe 45 mins - 1 hour. 2 hours is max and is fairly rare.

I didn't start the fight.  Others started it when they felt it was necessary to make fun of me and others.  I find ppl that make fun of others for the pain they're going through to be lower than low.  I am very sorry that you support ppl that would do that.  

Maybe it was the years of putting up with doctors telling my parents that kids don't get headaches.  Maybe it was the years of listening to ppl claim that they're only headaches, get over it.  All I know, is that I will not let ppl who supposedly have CH, and "know" what I've gone through, to find joy in mine or anyone else's pain.  That is bullshit, and it's about time someone someone says that enough is enough.

I have CH, and I don't give a damn if anyone on this board believes me or not, but I'm tired of just letting the know-it-alls humiliate other sufferers.  This place ain't a family.  This place is a junior-high schoolyard.  This place is ruled by the cliques.  New kids are fair game for ridicule, and so is anyone who dares to disagree with the popular cliques.  And when they don't have an intelligent response to a disagreement, they resort to name calling, personal insults, and useless cussing.  Immaturity at it's worse.

DrK,
People often deal with pain,depression,fear,death by making a joke or being an ass to others.
Its not cruel its just a way to cope, Ask any war vet or cop or firemen.
And often times they will crack on someone like you because you make yourself an easy mark, I even do it at times,
It seems that you dont want to do anything other then keep the fight going for yourself, And I say this because I dont see all the other CHers in here standing at your side in this.
And as far as you saying you wont let whatever be said or done, How the hell do you plan to stop it ?
I've read a number of your post and up to now you've not stoped or shut down one persons view of if you do or do not have CHs.
Too tell you the truth I dont care if you do or not (I wish you didnt) What I care about is the pain in my head which seems to get a little worsh every time I have to read thur 50 of your none stop BS post about how you got picked on.
Dont make yourself a target and you wont get shot.

It's a shame that you see someone disagreeing with you as not having an open mind and not wanting to debate things seriously.  It's a shame your game is my way or the highway.

Now, as for not wanting to help clusterheads, you don't even want to play that game with me!  You've got 3 years of hard work to go before you can even see my dust.  And I mean work.  I don't mean sitting on this MB and pissin' and moanin' all the time.

So tuck your tail between your legs and slink away, again.  I've been funnin' with you that past day but you've really convinced me that you're a whiney little kid.  Truthfully, I'm glad you withdrew from the election so we don't have to listen to that shit for all of next year.

Since this site is labeled "The Worldwide Cluster Headache Support Group", I too am shocked at how nasty some of the so-called "know-it-all's" can be.  After all, who would walk into an AA meeting and say "You're not an alcoholic, cause only alcoholics drink Vodka and you favor whiskey"?

Just because some people had a cluster last longer than someone else or their pain threshold is different they are automatically ridiculed ....

That's really nice that you helped all those people and I think I've even seen offerings of you putting together 02 contraptions of some sort. That's very kind...

Jenny,

If there were a Vodka AA Group, then it would completely appropriate to nat accept wine drinkers.

This is a cluster support group.  Not a migraine or tension or hangover headache group.  It's perfectly acceptable to direct meegrainers to meegrain sites or to question symptoms that people have that don't come anywhere near a cluster symptom.

We've sucked hind teet to the meegrainers for too long to let our malady be lost in the suffle and confused with the other headache syndromes.  A cluster is a cluster.  It has specific traits and diagnostic criteria.  Just because someone waltzes in and says , I don't have any of the cluster symptoms but I know I have clusters, doesn't make it so.

If you're a clusterhead you will get more support here than you know what to do with.  Our job, when a newbie shows up, is to first make sure they have clusters.  Until that's certain we're nuts to go any further.

Kenny jumpped us because we think we're doctors and can diagnose over the web.  Ya know what?  I bet we can diagnose clusters better than 80% of the doctors out there, even over the web.

Now I guess I should go back to the Reverend's farting thread.  It was a little more light hearted.

How have I helped?  I've tried to provide support to sufferers and their supporters on this board.  I was going to try to be an officer on the BoD of OUCH to try to help in that capacity, until I realized how much of a fool's folly that was.  I'm sorry that I don't have the money to buy ppl T-shirts, or memberships.  I live paycheck to paycheck.  I paid for my own OUCH membership from money I couldn't really afford to spend at the time, but I wanted to do my part.  I went the last two months of my last cycle without an effective, portable abortive, because I had to use the money to buy food for my family.  I'm so fucking sorry that I can't do what you do.  If it takes money to be taken seriously, then forget it.  I don't have it, I'll prolly never have it, and I refuse to buy my way into any group.  I thought that I could provide an ear to listen, and a hand to help, but maybe I was wrong.

Forget it.  I'm tired.  I came to this board to try to help, and maybe receive a little help, but all I get is ridicule and insults.  Fine.  Do what ever y'all want.  Perhaps I was fighting from the wrong direction.  Perhaps I should have been working to keep ppl away from the board, so that they can avoid the immature jokes about them, and gang attitude against anyone who dares speak their mind.  Maybe one of these days the know-it-alls will grow up, and be able to settle differences in a mature way.  Until then, to try to change things for the better is to play the fool in a sick, child's game.

The longest I've ever suffered from a single cluster attack is 1 hour and 30 minutes.  I've never had anything longer than that.  Also, it is hard for me to determine just what a 10 would be for me.  The worst one I can remember, had me on the bathroom floor, holding the right side of my head with my hand, (like my brains were going to fall out or something), screaming to die inbetween crying, pressing my temple into the corner of the cabinet, and throwing up.  (yes, i've thrown up from intense pain, go on, lemme have it! :P)

Seeing how long people have attacks for has been interesting.  I'm glad mine have never been for hours, I don't think I could be conscious if they lasted for any longer.

Gezzz Guys come on,
Push a diff DrK button so he'll post something diff for a change.
DrK your just too easy bro, You sound like one of them kids from grade school that was always crying and spent PE off by them selfs everyday.
As far as me just sitting by and letting them slam or flame someone else, What would you have me do DrK ? Would you have me post the same crap over and over just as you do ? To what end ? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU RUN OFF WITH ALL YOUR BS POST BECAUSE PEOPLE GET BORED READING IT.
Now I myself find it a bit funny and a good brake from the pain but hey thats just me, I dont come here to flame anyone but lets face it some people just have a nack for it and are damn funny.
If it puts tears in your eyes then maybe you still need to grow a little.
You sit here and say they act like kids and yet you yourself are text book immature.


Umm how come no one has tried to diagnose me yet ?

Glad you find it amusing Ted.  That was the point of the verbage in the post.  But I was presuming I didn't have to send up a flare calling that out.  Thank you for doing so.

Why don't you just let it drop?  I said I'm done, or have you nothing better to do than continue insulting me?  So be it.  Let me have it.

No... Not begging for it... Just finally realized that no matter what I do or say, I'll not be able to stop y'all from usin' me as a punching bag, so I may as well do like everyone says and let you.  So go right ahead, don't let me stop you.  Maybe this way we can get back to the whole support thing.

So far the longest headache has been 5 hours. The longest 5 hours in my life.   It got to the point I sent the family out until it went away.

I don't wanna play anymore. I'm taking my toys and I'm going home....

Perhaps this post would have been better off with the subject - "How long did your longest piss last and how far did it go?" That way this could have been a "real" pissing match.

Lord, forgive me....

No No wait let me play. Hey Darkie. I never said squat to you and the first time you posted me it was to ridicule me. So nah nah nah boo boo!
Slammy you are a bigger woooos than me, and I gave you big ol buck teeth in the smoosher.
I don't know what my longest attack was. I have had them from 1 to 3 hours. Mine rarely stop abruptly. I usually shadow heavy tapering down to where I go to sleep from exhaustion and wake up still slightly shadowing...However. I always get the red teary eye, stopped up nostril, and horners syndrome.

I can't understand why you guys whine about the pain.

I remember smiling when I got my first attacks.

One-sided conversations with God follow:

"Haa haa. Good joke."

"*forced laughter* This is getting old.."

"Give it up, will you!"

"This must be a mistake. I haven't done anything wrong!"

"Please! I'll be a good boy.. :'( "

The sudden onset and the level of pain would be almost funny if you didn't know that it will keep coming back
forever.. ???
