Changes in the symptoms/experience of Cluster is rather common especially during the early period of a newly developed case. What that means in practice? Can range fromweeks to years before a rather stable picture emerges.

There appears to be no medical significance of these changes which you can count on as predicting future events.

My worst pain is when it settles in the upper jaw. I've mangled two top molars grinding my teeth in the early days.

Mine start just above my eyebrow, move behind my eye then travel to my temple, teeth, right below my ear then jawbone.  The worst for me is if it settle behind my eye or in my temple

Really interesting thread.

What I find really interesting about this whole board, actually, is how the 'experts' define certain things about cluster headaches, and then I come on here and find out that in reality, they are completely different. This is one example. I was told that, and/or read, that clusters DO NOT move during attacks, but different attacks can happen in different areas.

Perhaps this is more in that they don't move from side-to-side, I'll have to dig up the information again. And maybe that is because the attack comes from one side of the nerve, and not both sides, or doesn't switch sides, but can move along the nerve. Don't know.

But too do have the attack 'come in' as it were. I can feel it 'enter' me, is the best way to describe it. It is like a ping-pong ball slowly entering my temple and moving towards my eyeball, becoming smaller and more intense as it goes, until it is unbearable. And like mentioned before, when it gets to the bridge above my eyeball is the worst place, especially in my left eye socket. Even just thinking about it...

Renee, interesting description. It definitely feels like it is moving or crawling through there sometimes.

Mine don't switch sides but I sometimes also get hit on the left, and it may overlap with one on the right but is a separate heachache.
