Hello All!
I went to my specialist yesterday and found out some interesting diagnosis. Although my "cluster cycle" is pretty much over I am dealing with constant daily headaches different from cluster! My specialist diagnosed me with hemicrania continua the last time i saw him. This time he is leaning towards "cervicogenic headache" :-? A totally different beast to now have to learn the proper approach! Like cluster's one need's find what work's! Anyone have any experience with this?
thanks all hope all is well!

Such a different animal from CH that I suspect you will need to work with an experienced neurologist.

6. Cervicogenic headache.

Cervicogenic headache is mainly characterized by unilateral headache symptoms
which arise from the neck radiating to the fronto-temporal and possibly to the
supra-orbital region. Physical examination to find evidence of a disorder known
to be a valid cause of headache encompasses movement tests of the cervical spinal
column and segmental palpation of the cervical facet joints and soft tissues of
the neck. Injection of the nervus occipitalis major is recommended after
unsatisfactory results with conservative treatments (1 B+). In the case of an
unsatisfactory outcome after injection of the nervus occipitalis major,
radiofrequency treatment of the ramus medialis (medial branch) of the cervical
ramus dorsalis can be considered (2 B+/-). If the result is unsatisfactory pulsed
radiofrequency treatment of the ganglion spinale (dorsal root ganglion) of C2
and/or C3 can be considered in a study context (O).

Now this sounds like something with which a chiropractor might have some success.
