Newbie in Phoenix AZ
Oct 28^th, 2008 at 1:39pm

MY name is Todd I live in AZ with my wife and two little kids. I have just recently started experiencing exactly what everyone here describes as a cluster headache. It started about two weeks ago. I have the shadow headache on the right side of my head and neck all day long. Then I get the skull crushing headache about once a night or two nights. My eye waters, my temple feels like it is going to pop. During this time I can't lay down I have to pace or be elevated in a recliner. Since it has only been two weeks the only thing I have tried is a chiropractor. Once I found you guys I realized what it most likely is and a chiro is pretty much useless. There is a lot more I could explain right now, but I will keep it short being my first post. I pray for a goodnight sleep for everyone.

Welcome Todd,
Here are some common treatments. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Caffeine and 02 will abort CH. Energy drinks as well. That will get ya started on some pain relief. Check out the links on the left of the board.
Now get to the doc and seek a referral to a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
all the best

Hi Todd and welcome. You are among friends here and I'm happy you found us.

I've got a lot of friends in Phoenix and if you need help finding a good Dr. who is knowledgable about CH I hope you will contact this guy.

His name is Chris and he lives in Phoenix too. Here is his e-mail address. chris.stuckey@cox.net You can tell him that I sent you to him.

If that doesn't work out I'll get you more addresses of others in the Phoenix/Mesa area. While you may in fact have CH....you truly need a diagnosis to rule out other conditions as well as getting on an appropriate treatment plan.
