Title: Personal Description of CH Attack by a Physician
Post by George_J on Feb 18^th, 2008, 1:41am

I ran across Dr. Lee Kudrow's description of a cluster headache attack (from the inside). Thought it might be of interest--Dr. Kudrow has considerable descriptive powers. I think you'll find it very familar.

This may have been posted at some time in the past. If so, please forgive me.

The accompanying information is quite old, so it is of less use.

Best,

Thanks for posting that description George. I hadn't read it before. Very powerful. Tough to read but worth it.

Definitely a good read right there. He did leave out though at least for me when I am done having a bout with a CH the feeling of such relief when it is over. I feel so good when it is over, then pass right out.

I'd heard the name, but had never read this before. Very well written. Also a very good description of the setup before the hit. During a cycle, I start getting nervous whenever I start feeling good. How frustrating is that?!

Thanks for posting the reference, George.

wow, very descriptive! well done Doc. I agree, the totally drained, used, run-over-by-a-car feeling he left out.

That was almost as bad as watching the video, I can almost feel an attack starting.

And I'm like Lebowski, I get that incredible euphoria, almost like a narcotic high feeling when it ends.

a nauseatingly familiar read. thanks for posting that George.

that feeling of utter exhaustion that some have mentioned gets to me too, leaves me wondering where the energy for the next battle will come from - until pain once again proves itself to be a somewhat more effective 'pick-me-up-and-toss-me-round-the-room' than red bull...
