Dear TP:
In your post you said you were relieved to find out that you have Cluster Headaches, if you do actually have Cluster Headaches, you might not be so relieved. You see, if I had a tumor they could take it out and I would be ok and no more headaches, but Cluster sufferers have no cure. We are just doomed. We have little or no hope of ever being cured. Thanks to this very dear web site, we are able to find comfort and support from fellow CH sufferers, exchange ideas, what meds work, what meds don't work, what to do, what to drink, what not to drink. This goes on the rest of your life.
I have never had an MRI, although I am sure lots of the Clusterheads have experienced that part of it. I have had 2 spinal taps, EEGs, tons of X-rays, very expensive if you are having to pay for it yourself.
Hope and pray you don't get diagnoses with Clusters, that it related to something else and they can help you.
Good Luck and God Bless
A DAME
