Title: Throbbing heaches
Post by Dinaguz on Apr 10^th, 2003, 9:24am

Hi, I tend to suddenly feel a terrific throbbing around my eye socket and then from then on it just keeps on throbbing so bad that it basically disables any plans or activities that I'm involved with. For example, I felt pretty good one Sunday morning, I went to the park to play tennis for a while. About a half hour later, after the game, the throbbing started around my right eye socket. and it spread right across my forehead. I work out and I'm a pretty active person so I can't blame the tennis game on that. The pain was so unbearable that nothing I took helped alleviate the pain. Does anyone have these similar symptoms?

Cluster pain typically isn't a "throbbing" or "pulsating" type pain. It is more typically a constant unrelenting steadily gets worse until it drops you to your knees type pain.

Okay, maybe this isn't the right type of headache associated with Cluster Headache. I 'm jus trying to identify my type. ?? :P?

Frank's got it right! A KIP-10 turns me into a "quivering ball of flesh". Any activity is OUT!!!

Do your HAs ever wake you up at night?

hoping you don't have CH,

No, I'm glad I haven't, so maybe I'm in the wrong category. I feel bad for you guys. Hopefully some day there will be some type of permanent cure for this. :'(

Frank, What are you talking about doesn't throb or pulsate, its all of that, just x 1,000,000,000,000,000. He might have CH, lets get more info for shitz and giggles.

I wasn't trying to be funny. But for most, it isn't a throbbing pain. We are all different though, so it could still be clusters.

Heres a link to our Cluster Quiz http://www.clusterheadaches.com/quiz.html. It is helpful in deciding whether you do or don't or might have cluster headaches.
