Title: Question on Clusters....... Post by Gailfrank on Feb 17th, 2003, 5:19pm Hi Guys- I just started dating this guy who says he has cluster headaches. he says they start in the back of his neck and move up to the base of his skull and it just sits there. He also told me that they CAN be seasonal, thats why they are called "clusters". is this true? does he have "cluster" headaches, or maybe just migranes??? Im just looking for info. And response is appreciated as I KNOW you are not doctors :) Thanks Gail |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Silver_Dolphins on Feb 17th, 2003, 5:30pm Hi Gail, That is not a whole lot of information to make a determination. If you go to the OUCH website (link provided on left highlighted in yellow), there is a quiz. That quiz is what I used to help me determine if I had CH or not. Of course, I did go to the neurologist to get "diagnost" as a CH sufferer, bu that quiz is a gem for getting the basic information. Just curious as to why it would matter if he had them or not. It isn't contagious. |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Gailfrank on Feb 17th, 2003, 7:15pm Hi guys- 1. Im not a hemaphrodite (spelling?) 2. I didnt know I could put down my gender (girl) 3. IT MATTERS because I like him a lot. I KNOW I cant do anything for him, but If I can get INFORMATION.....now, that WOULD be something. Dont assume just because someone has questions its a deception. sometimes a question is just a question. and sometimnes we do WHATEVER we can to help people in our lives. Knowledge IS Power!

Sure it is. Look at where they pain's located. "he says they start in the back of his neck and move up to the base of his skull and it just sits there." Doesn't sound like it touches anywhere near the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve and therefore it doesn't sound like clusters. Gail, you might try researching information on cervicogenic headaches for him. Good luck and I hope you find the info you're looking for. |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by RicoVon on Feb 17th, 2003, 8:55pm Wow.... I'm new but.... wow.... I hope I don't ask the wrong question. I've sufferered from these bastards for 16 years.. (Trust me, I have clusters!! Classic case.) Yet I don't blame others for not knowing what they are. It took me 5 years of fear before I found out what they were!! |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Gailfrank on Feb 17th, 2003, 9:40pm Hey Guys- All of you have really good things to say. I came to this site because I wanted to know if there was ANYTHING I could do.....again, even if it was information. I know your not doctors, I was just looking for the laymans answer. No one kows more than those who suffer from something. I have pseriosis. I have had it since I was 12 years old so I do know about having a horrible disease that you have to live with. I look forward to staying and asking questons and look forward to your continued support and understanding. Even if it is just a place to ask a naive question :) Gail :) |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Charlie on Feb 18th, 2003, 12:10am Sorry if you know anyone in lots of pain. To give you an idea about clusters: They are frontal and usually hit behind an eye. The pain comes on very fast and goes away just as quickly. It's so intense no one can sit still. Clusters will wake you out of a sound sleep and you're likely to have several a day. They come in cycles of several day for weeks or months. They are bunched like this which is why they are called clusters. There are no pain medications that will do anything serious for the pain of a clusters. What you have described so far does not sound like clusters. Take the test and if you think it's CH, tell us more. We'll make nice. Charlie |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Gailfrank on Feb 18th, 2003, 10:59am Charlie-- You answer was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Its too bad I had to go through the BS of some of the other answers to get what you gave me :) I REALLY appreciate it. NOW I have something to work off of. Gail |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by west17m on Feb 18th, 2003, 11:19am Gail, Don't take too much offense to anything said here. Fact is, there are a lot of knowledge knowledgeable people here that do care a lot. I think you can understand why some people would be less than pleased to write a long, time-consuming, heart-felt response to someone who's just playing games. Anyway, if you do find out your guy is a clusterhead, make sure you get over to the supporters board. There's a lot of people in your same situation. Have a wonderful day (and stay warm) -- Tag |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Ann on Feb 18th, 2003, 1:19pm Hey Gail! I don't mean to be a bitch, but if you were looking for such simple information without BS, all you had to do was click on the "cluster Traits" button on the left. Here you'll find a multitude of information and you won't ever have to worry about anyone being mean. ;D Hope your man doesn't have clusters. Good luck Ann |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Gailfrank on Feb 18th, 2003, 4:13pm Ted- Too bad your an idiot. I did do work, and....ya know what? Im just gonna leave it as your an idiot. I wont write any more responses. I cant believe that this community has been SO negative. What happens to the poor 15 year old who comes on who needs help? Or the not so computer literate 40 year old? You should all think twice about being so mean. And I appreciate ALL the kind and nice words from everyone. I would wish you luck with your headaches, but it seems some of you need luck with your mean personalities. Thanks Gail |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Ted on Feb 18th, 2003, 4:26pm "Too bad your an idiot." I think you mean "you're," and not "your." And there's nothing too bad about me being an idiot. I'm rather fond of being that way. I get to stay happy that way. Although, I am curious if it bothers you that an idiot gave you information to "work off of" above and you apparently didn't understand a word of it, nor have the intelligence to look up what it meant if the idiot's words were too big for you. We've helped the "poor 15 year olds," and the not-so-computer-literate 40 year olds would know how to push on the "cluster trait" button if they knew how to push the "message board" one. "Im just gonna leave it as your an idiot." Again, I think you mean "you're." Love, The Idiot! |

Title: Re: Question on Clusters....... Post by Charlie on Feb 19th, 2003, 5:31am Can't fake it? Really? You never get a break. Actually, there are some people; I know not why, that just won't, can't, don't, or some combination thereof, and will not do the work of looking up our stuff. I almost understand it. There must be some of this in me. It's more fun to read our scintillating posts rather than search...... She shouldn't have called Ted an idiot though. You can tell how deeply he was wounded by it.
