Hi there! Just been surfing and found your site. I think I may be a new member and I am in the process of trying to find some answers. I havn't a long history - mine started only 4 weeks ago. For the past 3 weeks I've had the most amazing headache each week. I wake in the morning with it
- my eyes are swollen and I have the most immense pain behind my left eye. If I make it to work (some days I don't know how I even got to work through the traffic) I can only stay an hour then make my way home to sleep. I sleep the rest of the day and by the evening - the pain has gone but
I am totally wiped out - and it last for days. I thought I must have a brain tumor - as I have never been a sufferer of headaches - so I had a CT Scan last Friday - but has come up clear (they only found a brain!). I am now attending a Headache Clinic - a physiotherapy clinic who specialise
in headache treatment. I'm having my 2nd session today. I don't know if I am a CH sufferer - but I know the pain I feel is like nothing ever expereinced and is exptremely debilitating.
Look forward to chatting further with you
