Title: Do your Clusters Throb ????
Post by Sean_C on Apr 10^th, 2003, 11:39am

Hi guys, as a new family member, and veteran Clusterhead, my question is this........

Do your Clusters throb/pulsate @ kip 1-10, or just steady pain and pressure?

I thought everybody's pain was an extreme shot gun blastin', knife piercin', eye rippin' throb like the BEAST in my head, but maybe not ?

How would you describe your pain ???

Thanks for your help, hoping you all have pfdan.

Sean

My pain will sometimes come down a notch for a couple of seconds, but then re-intensify. This may happen a couple of times, or not at all. I wouldn't call it throbbing, though. I would describe the pain as cruel and unrelenting.

From an article by Dr. Mendizable in the OUCH Library:

"Pain is generally described as excruciating, penetrating, and non-throbbing. "

No throbbing here, just one constant, searing pain.

I call it waves with each wave progressively worse than the previous until it peaks. The wave recedes slightly but the next one is right behind hitting harder. The waves are the intensity of the hot poker in the eye pain that makes me scream. The harder the wave the more I scream and thrash and tear and cry...

This is how my head pains work
Your results may differ

Clusters- steady pain, any change in pain level takes a minute. Pain gets immediately worse when you lay down.

Migraine- Throbbing pain that increases then decreases with every heart beat. Pain immediately decreases after lying down.

Sinus- Pain comes in slow waves with a peek to peek time of 30 to 60 seconds.

Opus :P

No throbbing here...ever.

I would describe mine as someone trying to crush 1 side of my head & face in a vise.....

My migraines throb and pulsate.
My clusters are sharp, deep, penetraiting, excrusiating pain.

Post by Wendy the Brit on Apr 10^th, 2003, 7:46pm

Me same as Opus and Karla r.e. pain of CH different from Migraine. Migraine throbs in time with my heartbeat. CH is .... the English language doesn't have a word strong enough.

P.S.
Roxy, is the top of your head flat so Don can rest his beer?

Mr Dog

Glad to be of service. Dogs usually cost extra but special dispensation as it's less messy doing it over the net, and no decisions needed about whether to swallow.

OOOOOH sorry! That was a bit crude.
I'll behave now

When I am having a 10.. the pain is constant and intense, but on top of that I get stabs that are so intense I start to think my eye is going to implode... Those are the ones that make me cry out in audible pain...

Throbbing to me is a regular headache. Regular headache... Ha ha ha... I laugh at you... Not you... the regular headache..

Mine doesn't pulse... but it does feel like someone is taking that dagger and shoving it in deeper every so often......
