I have just been diagnosed with cluster headaches, and was wondering if some of you could answer some of my questions.
1.) Increased skin sensitivity on the side of the attack, during and afterwards?
2.) Eye pain/pressure behind the eye, after and/or leading up to an attack?
3.) Sharp peircing pain around the temporal region of the head?
Lastly, if these are "cluster headaches" that I am experiencing.. what if anything can you take to stop the pain after the
headache has started. I am currently on Imitrex (pill) and Midrin (pill). The Midrin really does not seem to help, and the Imitrx
does if you can take it soon enough.
Basically, as you already know, THESE HEADACHES REALLY SUCK!!.
Thanks
Dan
