It was a surprise finding others out there with this so called "you'll grow out of them" and "its a sinus infection" headache. Im 40 now and have had them for about 12 years. I was lucky and was about to have my life together because they went away for two years. They returned 3 days ago. No medicine, out of the blue...POW!!
I now must face the obvious new doctor...lets take a scan, lets send you here, lets send you there, lets try this and lets try that. Over the years the only thing that has brought relieve in my life from these is Tylenol 3 with codiene. The preventatives never prevented so the only assault I could launch was pain killers. Old docs of mine say I am lucky that I only usually get one a day, I say well getting one a year is not lucky, but I do sympathize with those who suffer so much more.
Although it is not a pleasant thing to say, but It is good to find others who can understand the "cluster confusion"
Good luck to all who suffer from these and best wishes.
