Hello all, I'm thankful that I finally know what it is that I'm afflicted with. I started getting these excruciating headaches when I had a job in front of a computer all day. I thought that was the cause, but I guess I'm a clusterhead because my cycles seem to fall annually around January-February. Sometimes I vomit, and my right eye always gets blood red and very teary, to the point where they flow onto the floor. The pain centralizes in my right side of the forehead, and when I get these headaches I need to be left completely alone to wait the stabbing pain out. Besides, I bet I look pretty bad when I get them since my right eye droops and fills with fluid. I;m getting clusters presently 0 (if I'm lucky), 1 (usually a 30 min. bout), or 2 times a day. When they leave I feel pretty good, and never drained, but maybe that's because I'm just 22 years old. Been getting CH for probably 2-3 years.
