I think the lack of response you're getting here means that not many have this stuff in common with you. There does seem to be some head injury in quite a few Ch'ers history though. Speaking for myself, I have had none of these conditions, but started up with CH around the same age as you.

Good luck.

Hi Keithr,
don't be put off by what you sometimes read on this board it can get pretty wierd. Everyone here is here because we have a small problem with frequent head pain. Someone said a couple days to take what is usefull and leave the rest or something like that. Sounded like pretty good advice to me.
Allot of people here have been diagnosed with supposed sinus problems before they were correctly diagnosed with CH. The neck and back pain may be due to the tension from an attack.
Read as much as you can. The treatments that people have success with vary almost as much as the personalities of the people here.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and remember despite what you may perceive to be an occasional harsh or skeptical comment people are trying to help.
Hall of famer or newbie everyone is the same when it comes to the suffereing. We all want it to stop and it won't so we learn to deal with it the way that suits us best.

I agree with karma about the tension causing the neck and back pain. Do you find yourself holding or cocking your head at an unusual angle during an attack?
The zombie feeling?......are you on any meds? Could it be a lack of sleep due to night time attacks?
IMHO the lazy eye, deviated septium and head injury have nothing to do with the cluster attacks. But I could be wrong.

Good one don [smiley=laugh.gif]

Some times I have frequent pain in my small head.
But the ointment usually clears it up in 3 to 7 days. Some times it takes a week.

There there bobby me boy.
Just keep rubbing and you won't need to worry about inflicting anymore pain on that little head of yours.

3 to 7 days and sometimes a week? A day later and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
