Title: Testosterone levels
Post by unsolved1 on Apr 25^th, 2006, 6:19pm

Was just wondering if any of you males knew anything about their testosterone levels while in cycle. I jusy saw this video about a guy with what he called "Cluster Migraine". He stopped his headaches with Testosterone pellets. Think he had clusters? Think they were migaine or other type of HA ?

According to that Bob, it looks as if it may have helped some with the episodics, but didn't help the chronics at all. :(

Thanks for the link

At the AHS conference last year, two docs were talking about testosterone and cluster headache - they did a poster presentation on it, I think. They said anyone with CH should have testosterone levels checked. They may have been connected with MHNI, actually....but I'm not sure about that.

Never know if it may be helpful, however!

Best of luck to ya!
