I'm just trying to find out information about cluster headaches/migraines. Some of the symptoms described fit me but some don't. My pain starts in the shoulder and works its way up my neck to the side of my head and then to the eye area. My headaches last for the most part three days, with a little relief with some sinus medications - but it always comes back. Sometimes during that three day period it moves to the other side of my head. I have the runny eyes and nose problems, light seems to drive me crazy and no amount of pressure put on the neck or eye area will reduce the pain.
I have heard these headaches are hereditary. My mother had them for years and my sister has had them for a couple of years now. I have put up with them for about 10 years now. Am I on the right track? I don't know, but I sure hope so.
