Migraine Vs Cluster Headaches

i hope everyone is doing ok today ! i have had every kind of treatment for and test done for cluster/migr headaches there are. i have had nerve blocks, lidocaine dripped down my sinuses on the affectted side and tried all the immatrex, amerge and ergatomines there are. nothing in the lineup for migraines worked. i worked in the emergency room and one day had an attack and was sent to the pain clinic and diagnosed with cluster ha's. they can be mis diagnosed pretty easy. i do not get sick to my stomach nor want to lay down its the opposite, i cant set still and i have to be moving all the time. they are behind the same eye as well. the afffected eye gets droppy and watery and discolored under neath.
just a little info i learned have a good day all.

Hi wildwillykc,

I too suffer from clusters. The last time they came, my neurologist prescribed Zomig nasal spray. I can always tell when a headache is about to start. If I used the Zomig before the headache gets full blown, It will stop it before it even starts. If I wake up with a headache, the nasal spray takes 15-20 minutes work.

Good luck and I hope you get some relief.

hawk : thanks for the input. did they treat you with all the migraine meds for years ? these have gotten worse since 2000, i will have to try the zomig. thanks again. bill wildwillykc
Yes, I've tried everything. Had CAT scans, MRI's, oxygen tanks, etc.

Good luck if you try the Zomig, but I have to warn you, the cheapest I have ever found it is $22 per dose.

Wild,

Just wondering, have you ever had a CT of the head? Have you taken DHE for your headaches?
