Good evening. My name is Mourad (friends call me Momo) 27 y.o. in about a month. And im new to this site. I am from Montreal. This is my second cycle of my life. I had my first Cluster headache 5 years ago around the same time as this year and thats when i was diagnosed. i am been also an alcoholic for about 4 years now drinking every night up to 8 beers while gaming. I stopped drinking about 10 days now (not a drop) i am going through withrawal right now, its hard, but my headaches are alot less frequent.

this year they started around the 4th of july ( I dont really remembre the exact date) the first one woke me up during the night 2/3 am the second one aswell, 3,4,5th time i was drinking session but around 10pm. Thats when i stopped drinking and that when they started to become less frequent but never on same time of the day. Some where strong ( with right eye closing and tearing right nostral blocked) and some were like 6/7ish in pain but not acompanied buy the eye and nostrel syndroms.

My last HA was 3 days ago (pain but no nostrel block or eye tearing)


I have a question. When ever i am not having a HA i have this weird/unconfortable sensation in the spots where the pain usually accors and its not pain. Is this normal?

Can anybody help?

P.S. Doctor prescible Maxalt tablets the first cycle and when i saw another doc this year he gave me Imitrex Nasal Spay 20mg. But i never took either one of them cuz i am a girl thingy and am too scared to take them cause of side effect on the paper and i heard they are bad if u r a smoker (i smoke both tabacco and weed)

Hi Momo, and welcome,
I would suggest you seek out a Headache Specialist to get a true diagnosis, In the meantime take the cluster quiz just to see where you sit. The link is to your left on this page.
