There is a complex of nerves which serve our head which can confuse cluster with eye pain, tooth/jaw pain, pain in the temples.

You would benefit from a headache specialist who can sort through these multiple possibilities.

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.

5. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or Look for "Physician Finder" search box. 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.

I'm with both Bobs' Your symptoms are not in line with CH. If you're not already dealing with a specialist, it's certainly worth the time. Wishing you speed on an accurate diagnosis and some pain free time no matter what it turns out to be. pain sucks.

Cluster headaces almost always dont hit both sides but because i have tmj on both sides it is possible. if its not cluster headaches then was is the crazy headace/burning sensation i feel in my temples and face(the pain can be in these areas and not behind the eyes but usually isnt). Also i tend to sweat a lot during the headaches. If it still isn't cluster headaches then what headache is it?

Well it's for a neurologist to decide, not us imo. But as the rest say it doesn't sound entirely familiar.

However keep in mind that just because you have a list of symptoms that do not match a diagnosis that does not immediately cancel the possibility as some of them might stem from another co-existing condition.

But it is very very dangerous to say either way without having the medical training - and having met you. Get yourself to a doctor asap. And not just any such doctor but a specialist.
