I get little areas on my head that feel like small bruises. I don't know they are there until I inadvetantly touch them. They seem to move around and are often difficult to find again. This only occurs now and again. I guess the size of these bruises is about a pin head 1 or 2 ml. Ellick.

I told my mom the other day that my hair was hurting, she looked at me like I was insane... but seriously, the slightest touch on the left side of my head is painful... and the movement of my hair also hurts. so, yes, i know what you mean!

I still have some sensetivity two days later, but can't say if is from that frist hit or not as a get more than one a day. I found some info on the nerves involved in ch. and now wonder if the hair root thing was caused by a pissed of nerve. Will try to refind this info later and post it. Had a really cool pic.

Thank ya'll Tanyana

Patty,

The pain you're feeling is called cutaneous allodynia. It one of the lesser known and understood symptoms of cluster headaches although it is more common in migraine headaches. The best way to avoid allodynia is to abort your attacks more rapidly with oxygen therapy before the pain reaches a Kip-6.

Allodynia usually starts around Kip-7 and increases in intensity as the pain escalates.

Take care and get on your oxygen sooner for a faster abort of your cluster headache attacks.

V/R, Batch
