Title: Clusters and fluid in the EAR
Post by spc351 on Aug 25^th, 2004, 11:14pm

I went to the doctor a few days ago for the usual cluster headaches. He noticed fluid in my right ear. This is also the same side I get my headaches. Has anyone ever asked their doctor to check for this or is it just a coincidence?

I'd say coincidence...I've had the usual screening during a cycle and my old doc has never found fluid in my ear.

With all the swelling and fluid drainage that accompany a cluster headache, I am not suprised that some people might get an accumulation of fluids in the ear.

Happens to me a lot.

Last time went to the doc b/c I thought I was getting an ear infection and the doc said it was strange because I only had the fluid in my ear and no other signs of infection.(on the side of my last HA)

I sometimes get ear infections with CH.

all the time for me i thought i was the only one
but since i have been getting armed with ch meds
it has not been as bad. earaches and ch suck
but i have fluid and pain so bad in the ear also
i keep some soothing eardrops on hand.
because you put the two together you want
to kill. for all this time i thought it was my ear
giving me headaches 20 yrs left side for me.
prednisone does get rid of fluid in the ear.

I too have tremendous ear pain.

Seems to be worse when I'm in remission or between attacks when I'm in a cycle.....or maybe that's the only time I notice how bad it is!?

I haven't found anything to relieve it yet.

Tips on that would be kewl!!
