Hello, I'm still new to this forum, but I can tell you that this place has been a lot more help than my family Dr. The question I have, is ever since my first episodes of headaches about 5 weeks ago, I have a really bad scalp pain on my headache side. It really hurts to to barely touch my scalp, or even comb my hair on that side, the pain is constant and has never gone away yet. Is this a common symptom? If so, does it eventually go away? If it does, will it return with my next cycle ? Also, is there any treatment? Thank you in advance for any replies.

Yes, definitely still in cycle and getting attacks, but again this is the first cycle I've ever had in my life . I noticed the scalp pain before I had my first headache , at the onset of horners syndrome, and was just wondering if was typical and temporary. I got a haircut the other day, and was almost in tears from the barber.

During the early months (or longer) of a new Cluster picture showing itself symptoms can vary in place, intensity, quality, etc. It may take months before a stable picture emerges.

Not a problem. Patience!

I recall that sensation during my early onset period: area around the temple was so sensitive that waving my hand over the area, moving the hair, triggered mild pain. Then it disappeared.

It can be an amusing disorder!

Agree - scalp pain was a sure sign for me.  Seems to be a fairly common occurrence, though I was never quite sure whether it was the CH, or the result of the Verapamil.  Either way, when I get occasional twinges now and then, I immediately tap my scalp to see if it hurts. So far, well over one year since my last cycle and the scalp is fine.  Now, if I could grow some hair out of my scalp...

I'm so glad you posted this... it never occurred to me that the pain I was feeling in my scalp was related to being in a cluster cycle!
