Title: Hello from New Brunswick, Canada
Post by Frank Ferg on Sep 27^th, 2017 at 8:33pm

Found this site by chance today and I am loving what I see. I have suffered from migraines for about 40 years and of late have been plagued with what I describe as "screwdriver in the eye" headaches. I have run the gamut of diagnosis; sinus infection, stress, etc. Of late, I am missing more and more time at work due to these headaches but, thanks to info on this site, I am headed to my MD with a request to be prescribed O2 and hope for the best. Thanks again

Hi and welcome Frank

You've found a great place where people really understand what you're going through. Are you working with a headache specialist? We normally find that GPs, even most neurologists just don't have the skills and experience to correctly diagnose and treat CH or other similar headaches.

Read up and you'll learn a lot about CH and ask all the questions you have.

G'day, Frank, and we know all about the "screwdriver in the eye". Especially when someone has had the courtesy to bury it in hot coals before each assault.

Glad you're enjoying our little site, we have much to offer, including our "Cluster Quiz" which you'll find among the buttons down the left side of screen. It's a beaut place to start when you've gone through all the diagnostic hoops and hurdles, as you've already done.

Let us know how you get on and we'll happily help in any way we can.

Full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes,

Brian down under.
