Greetings to all - my headaches started in 1976. There was a time when I would have a year or two break and then the headaches would start again.
Sice July 2004, I have had daily headaches. I was diagnosed as having both cluster and migraine headaches. In 1997 I spent 10 days at the diamond headache center, in the clumbus hospital.
to date I have been having mostly clusters 2 tiems a day and some migrains mixed in. Last night I had a hell of a migrain - finally got to bed about 10pm.
I woke up this morning at 4:30am with a cluster. I've exhausted everything out there and nothing will touch my headaches. Right now I am taking it a day at a time. I'm a retired Deputy Sheriff with 27 years of service. The last 7 in the detective bureau. assigned to the sensitive crimes unit, mostly child abuse cases.
I am applying for social security disability and would like some feed back from any one that may have had success in getting disability.
Presently all I can do is deal with the pain with percodan, maxalt, and midrin. I've tired all meds that I and my Dr are aware of.
It's not "will" I get a headache today, but a question of when and how many.
my e-mail is: rcw134@charter.net.

Religion and sex are powerplays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. Selling skin, selling God, the numbers look the same on their credit cards. Triptans cause rebounds. Learn it, believe it, live it. I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.
