Title: Pain - KABOOM! Post by ckelly181 on Oct 3rd, 2003, 1:10pm Holy crud - I just had pain in a way I've never had it before. And my ch is like clockwork - shadow, warning stab - boom....twice a day, once a night. Anyway... It felt like a bomb - it just coursed through a slab of the side of my head. I had to kneel down - it took my breath away. I'm sure I howled because a colleague rushed over. But then it left just as fast. It felt like Kip0 - Kip10 - Kip0 in 5 seconds. Anyone have that happen before? Chris |

Title: Re: Pain - KABOOM! Post by Carl_D on Oct 3rd, 2003, 1:19pm Well, if it happens again, and again, and again - check with your doctor. I get that anywhere for 10 times a day to 10 times an hour. It's like a lightning bolt rips through the side of my head, I see white for about 2 seconds, then everything fades back in and I see stars for a few seconds. It is a condition known as Chronic Paloxysmous Hemicranea (CPH). A friend of mine calls it 'star wars' and can see it in my face when it happens. He'll just say "Ah, star wars?" Yeah. Fun fun fun.

Title: Re: Pain - KABOOM! Post by BobG on Oct 3rd, 2003, 4:15pm I had those stabs in the eye for a couple of months after my last cluster cycle. I referred to them as "What the fuck was that!" But I feel much better now :D |

Well, I like the "star wars" and "wtf was that?" analogy...that's sure what it was... Lovely, a NEW thing! Just when I was becoming really "comfortable (har har)" with the OLD thing. This sure does make you learn how to be adaptable... |

Title: Re: Pain - KABOOM! Post by eyes_afire on Oct 3rd, 2003, 7:06pm Yup, I call them zaps. One time I had one so severe that I went into an instant panic. I almost ran out of my apartment screaming in the night. At that instant I felt like I lost my sanity. I get them frequently, but that one was so severe... let's just say that I'm glad it didn't last more than 8 seconds... Sounds to me like SUNCT, which I believe sometimes accompanies CH, and is more common in clusterheads. It's another TAC. --- Steve |

Title: Re: Pain - KABOOM! Post by CC on Oct 3rd, 2003, 7:56pm Those are very normal for me for about 1 to 2 hours after my cluster leaves my head, I have named them "After Shocks" My wife knows every time i get one because i squint my right eye for a few seconds and then it disappears, She just says to me "Aftershock?" and i nod!! Don't know if it is normal but it seems to be for me!! |
