Possible onset of cluster headaches
Oct 8^th, 2008 at 7:02pm

Hi everyone,
I have been going to the hospital recently trying to figure out what's going on with my body and mind. I have had blood tests, and tests for intestinal parasites and everything comes back negative. Yesterday I had what the doctors seemed to think was a panic attack, and so far they can't tell me anything conclusive. I started feeling weird about a month ago when a took a stronger doss of LSD then I'm use to and got extremely stressed out. I have been getting sharp headaches that move around my head. It's almost as if the act of thinking makes them worse. I'm worried that the LSD I took was bad from being left in my car during the heat of the day. I wonder if anyone has experienced an onset of headaches from LSD and if theres anything that has helped them. I am 21 years old and I have had headaches before as a child after I fell off a diving board 6 feet onto the concrete on my head. This is just a scary time for me and finding this website has helped ease my stress already, but I am still having headaches. I am open to any suggestions or information that you can offer.

Okay, first of all, have they diagnosed you with cluster headaches? If they have not, you're at the wrong place to ask questions about this... You should reveal to your doctor what happened, I think doctor-patient confidentiality may cover this.

However, if you have been diagnosed with cluster headaches, may be someone here can help you. But they need to know if that was the diagnosis, or if you're trying to self-diagnose. (The latter seems to be the assumption.)

Either way, I hope your head feels better soon.

As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?

If "going to the hospital" means to the ER--this is the worst place to get a good diagnosis about complex headache disorders.

Given the history you give, I'd suggest that you need a headache specialist who can sort out:
panic vs. delayed response to the head injury vs. are you even dealing with Cluster.

We are clearly not in a position to sort thru these questions for you.
========
LOCATING HEADACHE SPECIALIST

1. Search the OUCH site (button on left) for a list of recommended M.D.s.

2. Yellow Pages phone book: look for "Headache Clinics" in the M.D. section and look under "neurologist" where some docs will list speciality areas of practice.

3. Call your hospital/medical center. They often have an office to assist in finding a physician. You may have to ask for the social worker/patient advocate.

4. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

; On-line screen to find a physician.

or

Look for "Physician Finder" search box. Call 1-800-643-5552; they will send a list of M.D.s for your state.I suggest using this source for several reasons: first, we have read several messages from people who, even seeing neurologists, are unhappy with the quality of care and ATTITUDES they have encountered; second, the clinical director of the Jefferson (Philadelphia) Headache Clinic said, in late 1999, that upwards of 40%+ of U.S. doctors have poor training in treating headache and/or hold attitudes about headache ("hysterical female disorder") which block them from sympathetic and effective work with the patient; third, it's necessary to find a doctor who has experience, skill, and a set of attitudes which give hope of success. This is the best method I know of to find such a physician.

That's nothing strange. Rather, headaches often do not show up in bloodwork, although their results, like sleep deprivation, might.

What was your panic attack like? And have you got them earlier? Do you get panic attacks regularly when you get really stressed? Or, if you have got them, have they been tied to drug use?

Stress is a common trigger for a variety of different headaches or headache syndromes.

That is a common description of a headache, but not a cluster headache. Sometimes e.g. migraines do that. And pain makes it difficult to think for all of us.

LSD is not a very stable compound in itself, but I honestly don't know how the heat might affect it. I will take this up with my chemist friend.

You had headaches before as a child after you hit your head? Did they go away?

If you are really worried about the headaches, and it's not just the drugs talking, locate a neurologist specializing in headaches and tell him or her about your worries. We here cannot diagnose you, only make perhaps educated guesses.

I hope I've been of help.

The iso-LSD should be biologically inactive and thus shouldn't cause headaches. Whether one day in a warm/hot car is an extended period of heat is another question. - Best regards and PFDAN, Rosa

Is this posting a "joke"? It sounds like u r still using BAD LSD...is there GOOD LSD?

I could go on and on about panic attacks (which I suffer from), and all the "hospital" visits, etc that you need more help that anyone can give here. Don't mean to be pissy, but this is a serious sight with CH suffers and supporters who are devoted to hepling, not promoting LSD. Angry

PS...your headaches don't sound like CH to me. Wait for your doc's dx and tell him u think you had some bad LSD and see what he says. Angry
