The only thing that bothers me about this, is the mention of the "suicidal ideations" as a rare possibility due to the Topomax he was taking. Like whoever wrote the article inserted a small subliminal suggestion that it was due to the meds which caused him to do what he did. Sorry, it just bothers me.

If only he had typed 'cluster headaches' in a search engine. He'd have found us here or at OUCH. This is a good example of why we need to get the word out that there is help. Not just for Physicians, Ins. Co's. and Pharmaceutical co.s but to the general public.

"If only he had typed 'cluster headaches' in a search engine. "

That's how I found this place,excepet I typed 'suicide+headaches' Because I wanted to leave some explination why I did what I was about to do.

"No one has to become so desperate that their only recourse is to take their life"

I would like to add that it doesn't matter weather it is
med related,pain related or depresion on it's own .please read the 'crissis link' thread at the top of the page.And then reach out!!!! MOST of us have had to deal with one type or more.To quote the first post I ever read here "Suicide doesn't stop the pain,it just keeps us from dancin".

The ignorance displayed by the writer that, "a football injury and a car crash" caused them to return "with a vengance" is not helpful either. I guess we should expect no better, but a little diligence on the writer's part would have been good.

Linda, you are so correct that no one should have to come to that point, but the fact is that many, if not most of us have made that consideration at one point or another. This story reinforces once again the need for us to get the word out. THere but for the grace of God and DJ am I.

I hear ya Jerry, but I suppose it's possible that the reporter was told that by the family or friends. I could see how an injury, which likely resulted in the dispensing of pain pills which are known to be a trigger for many, could cause a return of a cycle.

It is sad. Maybe if he got help that worked, he might still be around.

The article sucks too:
Quote:

Mr Payne had been taking Topamax migraine relief ‘sprinkle capsules’ in the days leading up to his death.

Manufacturers Janssen-Cilag Ltd acknowledge in the leaflet accompanying the tablets that, in rare cases, patients can experience ‘suicidal ideations’.

It alludes to the possibility that Topamax could be responsible. I think it more likely the Topamax wasn't helping, not that it was a possible cause.

At least the article dosn't just come out and say 'cause of the Topamax' but does refer to CH as suicide headaches several times. Just think of how many people have cluster headaches, but don't have the internet. As backward as this newspaper article reads, I wonder if Trevor even got on a computer. In any case, it is very sad news.

I got lucky when a friend found this site 10 years ago, almost a year after I went chronic and was confused as to why they weren't going away. Since 1987 I had always had episodes, with the longest being about 9 months - which wiped me out the first time. But when they started in '98 and didn't stop, I got really scared.
Had I not found this site when I did, I might've offed myself within a few more months after losing everything including my dignity.

R.I.P. Trevor

Living proof that busting can turn a chronic to episodic!

Live each day as if it were your last because one day, you will be right.
