Title: Big Day Tomorrow
Post by jailcop on Mar 24^th, 2005, 10:12pm

My last thread NEW TO CLUSTERS>NOT HAPPY seems to be incorrect. All indications are that I do not have clusters nor migraines. As I stated before they are called thunder clap, lightning strike or ice pick headaches. Anyway tomorrow is MRI/MRA day to try to locate a cause. I guess what I don't get is that they have not come back. I had those 2 bad ones that sent me to the hospital and one smaller one that scared the crap out of me ( thought it was going to get worse ) but I've been fine ever since. I have actually tried to trigger one by doing things I thought might have caused the others but nothing. I even went out last night and got hammered but again nothing. Not that I really want the pain but I really want to know what causes them. Thanks For Listening....Kevin

Glad you're PF Kevin!!!

Hoping all is well and that MRI is clear......

If they do come back and they are Icepicks (different then Thunderclap though you listed them the same.....did doctor say this???)......ask doc about Indocin/Indomethacin.........it'll keep them @ bay.

Good luck friend :)

The Doctor mentioned them both as if they were related. I may have mixed it up.

Kevin,

Going thru all of the tests (MRI/MRA) is a bit of a pain but it's good to rule out all possible causes of your pain.

I see you live in Easton, PA. I'm down in Wilmington, Delaware. I go to Dr. Michael Cohen who is located in the GSB Building on City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. After seeing about 8 neurologists, I have found him to be the best and most compassionate. I know this may be a bit of a drive for you but I highly recommend him.

I wish you the best and let us know how everything turns out.

Cyndi
