Can some one answer some ?'s for me???

Hi ...Im Abbie and I am brand new to this.
I am almost positive that I suffer from CH as well...just havn't been officially diagnosed yet.  I have a CT scan tomorrow and am terrified, as I always dread the worst.
Ill tell you my symptoms and maybe if some of you share the same, please let me know. I have been reading alot of the posts and it all seems like what I go through every day, just maybe a few differences. Fist off, they start as a dull pressure behind my eye, as if something is pushing my eyeball out. Then, a bump on the right side of my head seems to be the trigger point. Sometimes if I rub it, it helps.  Sometimes the pain is bad, but mostly, its like a constant pressure on the right side of my head. In my sinus, behind my eye, and the lower part of my skull behind my ear. I hate it!!! It drives me mad, consuming my thoughts.  Its like the right side of my head is heavier than the left and the pressure keeps building. Any of this the same fo anyone else? Also it makes me feel ill sometimes, cause its an awkwars feeling. The major difference I notice from other ppl is, the only thing that helps me is if I go to sleep. I can wake up and feel normal in the am for a few hours and then it hits again. Huh

G'day Abs and sorry you have to be here but it's a great start to finding out what's going on.  Over on the left is a button marked 'Cluster Quiz'.  
 
Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

Hiya Abbie,
 
I am sorry you are suffering.
Do me a favor, post an intro in the getting to know you section.
You will get more hits (excuse the pun as we call attacks "hits"Wink to this post.
This is the board for spouses and significant others or those of us who are reaching out to other supporters in dealing with our own significant others.
 
There is tons of info and if this is brand new it can be very scary.
Some experience devestatingly painful attacks thinking for sure they have a tumor and will die immediately while others have tremendous pain but not as bad for their first experiences.
Time will tell if they are clusters and how they present.
They are of course called cluster headache because they come in clusters.
Headache is a misnomer.
 
I can tell you this though..........None of us can go to sleep with a CH so I would lean towards saying no.
It sounds like migraine.

 
If by chance that you do ever develop CH then You will learn more than most doctors and will be provided information that can help you educate your doctor to receive proper treatment.
 
Good luck!
 
Eric

Gonna take a breath and try again.
