Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Charlie on Sep 5th, 2003, 8:29pm I'd say I've had two ordinary headaches this year which is probably about average. Yer right. It is an interesting question. Charlie |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Prense on Sep 5th, 2003, 10:11pm If I had a "normal" HA, I probably wouldn't even notice it...that is like a PF moment to me. I honestly do not recall what a "normal" HA feels like anymore. |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Lori on Sep 5th, 2003, 11:14pm I didn't normally get headaches between cycles, except after this last cycle Feb 2002. Since it ended in May 2002, I have had headaches to the point that its gotten really annoying. Still nothing like having an actual cluster HA though. I just don't know what changed. Plus I also have had for the last few months (and it just ended a week ago) what felt like a cycle without the actual pain. I posted about that a couple weeks back or so looking to see if others had that experience. A first for me, that I can recall anyway. |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by ave on Sep 6th, 2003, 4:50am Before I ever got clusters I was a "headachy kind of person". Apart from the occasional migraines I got at least 1 or 2 a week. Now I rarely get them. And it is even rarer (more rare?) to take anything for them if I do. |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Hooter on Sep 6th, 2003, 4:55am Interesting! I used to get at least one migraine a month. Since developing CH, I have hardly had any, and those I have had were at the beginning of a CH cycle so may have been CH shadows. I put this down to some useful side effect from the Imigran use. I get headaches from alcohol use more frequently now though (that could be age!) Hold the front page- CH cures migraines! ;D W the B |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by jmorgan52 on Sep 6th, 2003, 5:22am I usually get many, many headaches between cycles. Tension HA's, Migraine, Hangover HAs on occasion :P and just plain old HA's. These usually react well to OTC painkillers and Tiger Balm. This has been the pattern of my whole life. In the past year I have discovered that if I stay off wheat products I rarely get a HA, but if I go back to eating wheat (it's really hard to give up!) I start to get a few HA's after a month or so. These all pale into insignificance compared with a cluster cycle which is totally debilitating, and life and work becomes almost impossible without Imigran injections. John |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Patrick_A on Sep 6th, 2003, 6:30am I only get Migraines between cycles. They are annoying at their worst! Never worse than a 5kip! I can always sleep with my migraines though. Patrick |

Title: I GOT BLISTERS ON MY... Post by rumplestiltskin on Sep 6th, 2003, 7:11am Its probably a sypathetic reaction to my Chronic CH/Migraine wife...ole whats-her-name.

With our med warchest...I got some very large flyswatters for those pissants! The sumbitches are nagging, annoying, curiosities...like my wife. Good Grief den |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by OneEyeBlind on Sep 6th, 2003, 9:15am I got tons of sinus headaches before getting hit with the clusters. For some reason the sinus headaches have stopped completely since I had my first cycle. I ain't complaining ... they were annoying and uncofortable ...... but now they are gone !!!!!!!!!! |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by ckelly181 on Sep 6th, 2003, 12:10pm I get regular headaches when i get too hot and haven't had enough water. I take an aspirin and it goes away...no big. The worst thing about it is that nagging fear - will this start a cycle? That's more bothersome than the headache. chris |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Carla_Comiter on Sep 6th, 2003, 12:19pm Oh Lawdy, I must be de Queen of Headaches! I've always had tension headaches, smoking headaches, TMJ and heat exhaustion headaches, prolly 3-4 times per week. Got my first cluster in 1967. Added occipital migraines (especially from heat exhaustion) in the '90s, and topped it all off 2 years ago with classical migraines (usually in the spring from allergies). My unscientific, cockeyed theory is that there are 2 (10 for Kirk) types of people in the world--those who express their stress through headaches, and those who express their stress through their stomaches. So, the good news, I guess, is that I've never had ulcers or any stomach problems other than occasional heartburn. This might be more detail than you aked for, but I COULD add more, you know. ;) |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Opus on Sep 7th, 2003, 6:05am I have daily sinus pain, weekly migraines, I used to get tension ha but they are gone. The worst migraine I ever have is a 5 but after 6 hours it is hard to keep going. Since my CH went from kip 5 max to kip 10's I don't take pain meds as much, it doesn't seem worth it. Opus/Paul |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Not4Hire on Sep 7th, 2003, 5:22pm ...I agree 100% with LinderH.... since I started gettin' the MOFO, .....them *regular* headaches, and other aches and pains are not even worth mentioning. (Tho' I did have a awful hangover a couple weeks ago....) score: 13-13 (?) N4 |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by forgetfulnot on Sep 7th, 2003, 5:52pm Nutin from nutin is nutin, although 50% of us seem to have other headaches 50% don't, thanks to not-4s entry. It is odd, could be the same in the general population. Lee |

Title: Re: How many people................. Post by Drk^Angel on Sep 8th, 2003, 2:00am I'm with Linda H... WTF is a "normal" headache? If you're talkin' about tension type headaches, even those aren't normal for me... I think the official diagnosis is "chronic daily tension type headaches" or some shit like that... I call it 14 years of continuous, annoying, pulsating pressure and pain... At least when I'm in cycle, I don't give a damn about it, but then again... For some reason, I don't like bein' in cycle either... Go figure 'eh? C'est la vie... ;D PFDAN...................................... Drk^Angel |
