Hello there @faithann64. I caught your post and thought I'd throw a thought your way. As I read about your struggles with cluster, and/or migraine headaches, I connect with you, having been there myself. May I ask how long your journey with headaches and attempted treatments has been?

I've always had off and on again headaches. Some pretty bad, but I just brushed them off as headaches ?? But,, (Almost 16 months ago now). Mine started ( migraines )after I had passed out 3 times in 1 week. The final time I passed out my daughter called ambulance. I was admitted into hospital and they did all kinds of testing. CT'scan,
Spinal taps. Pretty much everything came back normal. Since then I have migraines almost every day. I've been in and out of hospital since then. See my doctor and Neurologist regularly. I've tried just about everything my Neurologist said. I've tried infusions, medications , pain management with no luck. I'm just beside myself. Am at the point where my job is on the line ! I don't know what triggers them ? My lifestyle is the same as always. My Neurologist said the only thing now he can suggest is to see an Anesthesiologist for pain management ???? It's so frustrating. Sometimes when I go to the ER becuse im in so much pain they treat me as if I'm just looking for narcotics . Really frustrating !
