I understand that noone here can diagnose, however I would appreciate your input. My husband and I have looked over much of the info. on this website and we have come to a conclusion that I have and occasionally do suffer from most of these symptoms, however, not on a very regular basis. I saw, yesterday for the first time, a new doctor who seemed genuinely concerned for what I had to say about my headaches. He seems to believe that I suffer from different headaches that piggyback one another. He is going to work very closely with me on issolating them. I pray this works. In the mean time I was doing some research myself and came across this site.
Among my other headaches I do tend to have episodes like many described here. I have often woken in the night cluthing my head firmly and crying out for the dear Lord to take me NOW. This frightens my husband greatly. I have also on occasion asked him to blow my head off with a gun. Praise the Lord, we have no guns in the house. Durring these attacks, I can not be still, I crawl around on the bed, clutching my head. I often rock back and forth crying and clutching my head. No amount of pain killers can touch this pain and it always brings me to tears. I feal so bad for my husband because he can do nothing for me, and he so desires to. We have three children, and though they see the symptoms of my other headaches, I hide these particular ones from them for fear of the fear it may cause in them. The reason I'm not sure that I have cluster headaches is because they don't always come on a regular basis. I'm not sure if this is because of the other headaches that play a roll or not.
I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thank you and Godbless.
