Many are asking "which do I have?" Look at the following to help you decide, before you go to the doc. You need to accurately describe your symptoms. Most docs determine which you have by YOUR COMMENTS. There is no test--(though you should be tested to rule out other possibilities).
Be sure to see a NEUROLOGIST--not fam doc, gyn, foot doctor, witch doc may be ok, not your chiropractor (some say it helps, but not to diagnose), not your vet either. A NEURO.
Here is a site with several links, that are fair at helping you decide:
www.healthanswers.com
Look up Migraines first. Print it off. Read Carefully
Then look up Cluster Headaches. Print and read carefully.
I personally do not agree with every statement in the defininitions, just like some statements on the TV show were wrong in my opinion, but the site is pretty good.
Why did I type this? Because if you have migraines, you are at the wrong site and will get the WRONG help/information. All of us care about your pain, and want you to be like others we see--happy and pain free.
