Title: One for the ladies!
Post by pingu1981 on May 24^th, 2007, 12:06pm

My doctor diagnosed me with cluster headaches about six months after he'd put me on the contreceptive pill and while I remember having a lot of bad headaches before especially in the summer when I was growing up, they were nowhere near as bad as they are now! I was wondering if any other women had had this problemor is it something completely unrelated? I only ask because a friend of mine was put on the same one and she's now a CHer too. [smiley=huh.gif]

Your friend not withstanding, but we would need a lot more information before we can help you try to figure this thing out.

1) what were/are the symptoms that caused the Doctor to consider a CH Dx?

2) What meds does he have you on?

3)Did you get refered to a neurologist? Did you have any tests to rule out other conditions?

4) please describe the headaches before taking the BC pills and how they changed.

5) please describe how often the headaches occure, what you do to cope, how long each individual headache lasts.

We want to help you but we need more details ok? Lets get you sorted.
