Title: Cluster Victim
Post by painvill on Oct 2^nd, 2003, 6:30pm

??? I am a cluster Victim today I had a terrible that came in tons of headaches . I found myself gripping the ends of my hair , sitting on the floor rocking back and forth and nearly screaming in pain. One side of my eye , hurt like someone took a knife and turned it around and around inside it . I was shocked it lasted for nearly 4hours. I am so weak after wards it seems like it takes a lot out of you. What can I do to get rid of the pain when I have it? Sorry I just started haveing these I am 28 years old. It is all new to me. Sometime My pain floats around in my head. Didn't understand that but I know it isn't a regular headache that is for sure any info you can give me?

Hi Painvill,
I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering.

I suggest that you post on the "general board". It will be seen by many more people. Perhaps they can give you some answers. I know they will try.

Good Luck,

There is much you can try painvill!
Oxygen through a non-rebreather mask aborts many ha. in rapid time, is quite harmless (unless you try to smoke too!) and is readily prescribed by neuros and doctors that have observed good results and understand the desperation of their patients. There's a link to O2 info on the first page of this site.

Have you seen a neuro? have you done the cluster quiz?
Do you have a helpful doctor?

Also check out the OUCH site and read about the treatments available there:

Hang in there babe. IT WILL PASS.

Painvill

Please take heart that you are not alone. There are many here to help with answers and support. My god they have helped me over the past 2 months. Please get into a doctor and start making sure that you do not have something worse.
