Title: Looking for something... Post by Pixie-elf on Feb 18th, 2009 at 2:38am
Okay, right now I'm really numbdrumb from all of the stress I've been under, so... I figured I'd ask here.
Is there any article that discusses what (if any) changes our bodies go through before/during a cluster headache? I thought I may have read some, but right now I can't even find anything and...am just frazzled. Any info would be appriciated. --Mystina |

Don't know if this will help, but my MRI showed white spots on the brain that were caused from the CH'S.
I know the night before the MRI I had a kip-9 1/2. The white spots were labeled as migraine changes Don't know what that means, but they told me not to worry :-/ |

There is an interesting discussion going on in Gonzolo's thread in "medications, treatment, therapies", but it is way over my humble head. Bob Johnson also references a lot of papers where research is going on. I appreciate the efforts, but most of my concern is more short term. When in cycle, noisy bars bad, oxygen good.
PF wishes. |

80/60? That seems abnormally - no, dangerously - low.

Okay, Mystina - If you're not worried about it, I won't be.
Glad you like the new avatar. I've caught some shit about it on the General Posts board. I just think it's funny in a twisted sort of way. |

Never heard of these spots relating to clusters. I'm not saying you don't have clusters, just that these spots are indicative of severe migraines. They could have beeen there for years. They are VERY common for people with migraines. I agree with the doc that they're nothing to worry about. Just evidence that migraines can cause damage. BobW If we got a white spot on the brain for every Kip 9, a lot of brains here would look like the pile of snow along my driveway. :D |
