Title: Have i got them again?
Post by kimg on Jan 28^th, 2004, 1:40pm

:-[ Hi is it possible to have a mild attack of cluster headaches? I was diagnosed approx 4 1/2 years ago, and have 1 other attach. But for the last week I have had a constant headache. I have woke up 4 times with the headache - but it hasnt been as bad as before ? It is over the right eye, but does go across the head, and sometimes in the bottom of the back of my head.
Help required !!!

Yes, I think so..... but what you're describing isn't what I'd call text book ch......constant ha, would lead me to think migraine........ just my thoughts.

I agree with thomas, I have both CH and Migraine, sounds like you're describing the migraine.

Thanks for the info - never had migraine ! When I say constant, I mean a dull ache, that changes to more intense over the one side - but it not the sort of headache I can go a lay down with - I need to be up and about.

You could be descibing "shadows" as the dull ache.... What are you taking to abort?
