i have been diagnosed with cph but i dont believe it
because i have one really severe headache at night
which can last for three or four hours an 1 or 2
during the day. Not 15 short headaches through the
day.
I have seen 8 doctors in the space of 3 months
been in hospital for 2 weeks where they carried out
various tests and a ct scan,all clear,had lots of
different painkillers none of which worked, i dont
believe any of these doctors know what a cluster
headache is. I have been prescribed indomethacin
recently after my parents insisting that it had all
the symptoms of ch. I would like to know if anyone
has tried this and if it works ,also any side effects?
my gp thinks im stressed and prescribed vallium also
which i have refused to take as i know i am not
stressed!!!!!!!!!
