I am a 21 year old male who has been suffering from self-diagnosed cluster headaches for two years. I visited my general physician one year ago due to the re-current headaches I was having. He stated that I had synptoms of both tension and cluster headaches. He prescribed some Midrin to me, and I found Midrin to produce un-acceptable results. To say the least, the headaches did not disapear.
I am curious if it is possible to have a mild form of cluster headaches. After reading your posts, I find that I am experiencing the same symptoms as the majority of you posting here. However, my headaches are not as severe as yours. I don't have un-bearable pain. I do experience a lapse in the occurence of the headaches, and it appears that the frequency of the headaches increases around the month of March. I desperately need you insight on this matter. I am a worried 21 year male, who is matriculating to law school in August of this year. When school starts in August, I definitely don't need to be worrying about my headaches. Please, Please, give me any insight you may have on this matter.
Thanks, Chris
