several things you said sounds like clusters...but you said you had this persistant for 7 months...if so, you are starting out as a chronic it seems...Let me ask you one question, when the pain starts, are you able to lay down in bed? Because people with chs can not do this...we have to pace and walk and some of us bang our heads...When I first started getting them over 20 years ago, I did not have any that were over a kip 5 or 6 to begin with...I pray you don't have chs but if you do, know that we are here for you and you still can live a productive life. It amazes me at the people on this board with chs...alot of them are professional business people who have very demanding jobs..I am a nurse..so, having chs is not a death sentence by no means...You just have to learn your limitations. Please let us know what the neuro says and GOd bless...smiles,nancyc ps know we are here for you.
