does anybody
Aug 7^th, 2012 at 7:32pm

ever get numbness in there head and down the side of their face? started with that the other night. It was not on the normal effected side.
I am beginning to think there are other things going on with me besides the cluster headaches. have been getting the numbness in my head and some times localized pain in my head on the side just in one area.
Has anyone else had these problem?
I am taking topamax and have had the normal tingling in the hands and feet but havent had any numbness in my head, face or scalp from it.

Hey Cluster Head!!
I too take topimax and it is probably the topimax that is giving you the numbness. I have the same exact symtoms and it really started to be pronounced when they upped my dosage, it is one of the side affects, numbness around the lips, around the crown of your head and face also hands and arms legs and feet, you should talk to your doctor about it as he should know everything about your treatment and the things you experience.....Johnny

you should do this asap

Gaining knowledge and obtaining an education about cluster headaches is the key to success to shutting down the beast. The Vitamin D3 Anti inflammatory Regimen is one of the best treatments ever!
