Title: Left Sided Clusters?
Post by JimH on Aug 15^th, 2006, 6:25pm

Hi, I recently came off a three month cluster battle, was pain free for two weeks then started getting mild attacks for the first time in twenty years on the LEFT SIDE of my head. Has anyone had this happen? Any thoughts?

Yup, and you nor I have any say in the matter. The beast plays by his own rules and they are, no rules at all.

Sorry!

Since I went chronic, I pretty much get hit on the left side of my head. But they have switched sides. That cycle will run it's course. Then back to the left again. I'm used to it, so it's no big deal for me. I have noticed they seem to be more painful on the right side of my head though. Especially when I'm not expecting it.

12 years episodic and right-sided only. Then turned chronic and switched sides :-/ ( I can still have an attack on either side, but I'm mainly a lefty now )

YUP!! How true! I am chronic, and always had been hit on my left side. About a year ago, I started to get hit on my right side, TOO!!

Now I get hit on both sides, and every now and then, I get hit on both sides at once. The beast likes to mind fuck you whenever it can!

Yerk.

I've been episodic since 1966, and have always been a lefty. This talk about switching sides FREAKS ME OUT.

Nope, I definitely wouldn't like that. Not one bit.

Best,

George
