Title: WCBS-TV
Post by WCBS-TV on Feb 13th, 2004, 11:12am
Hello,

I'm a producer with WCBS-News in NY working on a story about sexual headaches. I am looking for people who suffer from this type of headache/migraine to discuss it on our news program.  If anyone is interested, please email me at mmmcgeever@cbs.com

Thank you for your time, Mary McGeever

Mary,

some people have reported that orgasm is a trigger for their cluster headaches; it is a real phenomenon, but not typical of cluster headache.  

I am aware of one scientific article published on this topic, although you are probably looking for the human interest angle:

Klimek A., "Orgasm--a new trigger factor of cluster headache?" Cephalalgia. 1990 Aug;10(4):205-6.

Cluster headaches are similar to migraines in some ways, but are very different in other ways.  Glad to hear that you are doing a story to educate people on problems like these.

The term "Sexual Headache" just confirms in my mind that "Cluster Headache" is a lame name. How about "Fucking Headaches' Sure, you can have your sexual headache but you ain't had nothin' 'til you have a "Fucking Headache". It's got sex AND swearing!

Hi Mary,

You might have better luck posting over on achenet... www.achenet.org  There are people there who suffer from tons of different types of headaches.  I'm not sure you'll find any takers on the cluster headaches message boards.  Good luck!

No true clusterhead would even think about sex during a cluster attack. Maybe after.

Clusterville,

I saw this as an opportunity, so I just sent Mary a direct email. Here it is in its entirety.....

Mary,

I know by now you are probably full of disgust and anger at the response to your post. Don’t be…..we suffer with a very debilitating illness that most doctors cannot even diagnose properly. We could really use the assistance of someone in your position.

If you would like to her a little more, please give me a call at 1-877-406-9165 and I will try to explain a bit more about Cluster aka ‘suicide’ headaches. I myself came within minutes of pulling the trigger to stop the pain. So this is no joke, and maybe now you will understand why you received the response you did on the CH board.

Sincerely,
-dan

Way to go Dan, I'm glad you were thinking clearly today, God knows that I am not. lol

Great response Dan...clearer heads prevail.
That term "suicide headache" usually gets peoples attention. Let us know if you hear back from her.

Section 4.6 of the International Headache Society headache classifications deals with "headache associated with sexual activity".  I bet someone over there could give you some info:

Been PF for going on 13 years. Must be something to this. No sex, no clusters.

This thread feels like the old board to me.  

Funny replies though.

Really WCBS-TV, We are very interested in doing a segment with you, but, the sexual headche thing is really trivial to the Cluster Headache aka "suicide headache" sufferer, there is a plethora of info on CH here. Exploit it!

Give us a chance, you won't be sorry

Actually, sex is known to make some vascular headaches, including clusters, worse.  I haven't had sex for 2 years now, but I used to be lucky.  Sex used to be one of the few things that actually helped the pain.

I do recall my first bout with CH in the early 90's one episode where sex with my ex wife triggered a CH attack...was not fun. :(  And I suppose that it didn't make the bitch feel good about the rendezvous either!  :P

Then again, as a supporter, she was pretty much nil...probably explains why she's my ex-wife now.

Title: Re: WCBS-TV
Post by don on Feb 16th, 2004, 3:26pm
Sex with the Ex?

The only trigger there would be the one my finger was wrappeed around.

Hey Mary,

I think I can help you out.  I get sexual headaches, only they are a result of not having sex.  Will that work for your story?

When I have sex, my headache goes away for a day or two.

Title: Re: WCBS-TV
Post by IcePickStuckInHead on Feb 17th, 2004, 12:39pm
Mary,

I think about sex before and after, but not during.  My wife has all the sexual headaches.

Title: Re: WCBS-TV
Post by Edski_1 on Feb 17th, 2004, 3:47pm
Clarification:

Sex with the ex before she became the ex...

Might have been the second or third to last time it happened...was really near the end... :-/

But I survived that!  :P
