I was diagnosed yesterday with cluster headaches. I have been reading through this site and haven't seen the symptom I am most concerned about. I have what I would describe as the opposite of what I see other people here describing. I have a numbing affect on the side of my head and not the excruciating pain I read about here. Is mine just a mild case? or have I been misdiagnosed. I had an EEG and it was diagnosed normal, CT Scan showed nothing abnormal. But I do still have this numbing sensation on my left side of my head, started out with pain behind my left eye. First felt this a year ago and was given glasses. The pain has now returned. I am a 39 year old male.
Thanks in advance for any reponses.
