Dear Jim,
I would be more than happy to answer your question. I`m a Chronic female suffer of Cluster for 25 year`s. Yes they did start around the time I was turning into a lady. I`m 37 now an I do think hormones do play a part in the intensity of my head pain around that time of the month. We are talking 2 total different kind`s of HA`s that hit at the same time.. One is CH the other is do to sever PMS. Now when I`m going into the PMS Cycle of hell this is where the hormones do come into play. I have tryed estogen. Helped the PM`s some. But I still also have my CH at this time. i call it the double wammie from hell.
For two day`s I DO NOT come out of my bedroom. My family is running for their life. This is why I hide in the bedroom till the worst part is over.
I have been misdiagnosed
Ok I`m really rambling. Just want to make sure my point is coming across.
Hug`s Linda
