In Reply to: help -- are these cluster headaches posted by mmark on November 16, 1998 at 11:37:05:
Hi. I can't tell you for sure whether yours are cluster, but this is what a cluster feels like for me. It's an extremely intense, excruciating pain on one side of my head and centered above the eye. The pain feels like a white-hot poker is stuck into my brain. It's not a dull feeling or even a feeling of pressure-pain; it's searing pain. My eye on that side waters and turns all red, and my nose runs on that side, too. Sometimes lying down with my head buried on the affected side will make me feel better; sometimes all I can do is pace around the house screaming and crying.
Peace
