Hello lovely peeps, I have been having difficulties in regards to my cluster headaches, Imigram injections are good but they are not always working. I knwo that the neurologist said about oxygen therapy but my gP refused to give me any saying that i have to go to AandE for a trial. I'm not happy going into AandE for a cluster headache that could leave me hospitalized under the mental health act and i might bump into patients and friends and at the moment i have managed to keep them away from… read more
Doc put me on propranolol and I use a steroid taper pack if they are too bad. Sometimes, it helps. 02 has been my saving grace

I have had migraines since I was 5 years old. My Mom always thought they were sinus headaches. They are mostly on the right side. If I get one on the left, it will last a few days, then move to the right. We moved and current doctor just does not get it.
My migraines change from the left side to the right side. They migrate. And there is no rhyme or reason for it. At none that I've figured out.
What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office.

I didn't even know I had a frozen shoulder, but I sure know I have a headache.
I have total movement in it and didn't know I had it. I got a shot in it in October for soreness, that's all. Crazy.
I have just experienced what I think is a cluster migraine. It started a week ago like any other migraine and after a couple of days the symptoms were reducing only to return twice with slight gaps in between and lasting a week to date. My line manager at work is sceptical that a migraine can last this long and so I’ve just been looking it up and this seems to be what is referred to as a cluster migraine. The pain is centered around my left eye only and I have experienced profound nausea and… read more
