Title: change in cluster
Post by anthony g on May 4th, 2010 at 8:05am
Hey all
I wanted to ask if anyone experienced the same thing? I was recently diagnosed Hemicrania continua. (chronic migriane) I went into cycle at christmas and im still getting daily headaches that have been different than cluster's! I was under the impression that it was "shadows" but as time has been going by the "shadows" seem to be a bit different more like a headache :o ! 2 weeks ago when i went to a new headache specialist he diagnosed me with migraine/cluster mix. what i am experiencing now is more chronic migraine! Seems like the cluster's morphed into chronic migraine? I hope this is making sense lol I just wanted any feedback to know if anyone experienced anything like this? cluster's could be confusing enough but to now have a mix of both YIKES!!!
hope all are well look forward to any input!
thanks
anthony

There are at least a couple of people on the board who have dual diagnosis of CH and something else. I think the most common one is the CH and migrain. Personally, I think that sucks! >:(

It's one of the reasons we so strongly encourage seeing a headache specialist as it's hard enough to diagnose one of these conditions.....go adding in a dual condition and you can see the nightmare it can be to get the accurate diagnosis. Here's hoping you can get a good handle on it.
