I know exactly that feeling from hay fever (I hate black wattle!) and it certainly explains nicely some of what we get to enjoy during a really big hit. Welcome home.

Reply #4 - Dec 9^th, 2016 at 10:45am Hi Guz, When I get bad ones I tend to get a very sensitive scalp to the point that I can not touch my head or hair without severe pain but as long as I do not let anything come in contact with my head (do not lay down, shower, etc.) it seems to be okay and will go away after a few hours.

Yup...post bad hits. I couldn't friggin believe even my hair hurt with this nightmare.

Actually was one of the few symptoms I could relate to "civilians" that got a little
bit of "wow it must be bad if even your hair hurts"...thinking they compared ch
to a bad hangover...dunno..I stopped trying to "explain" years ago...

Best

Hey Guz, Ericy,

What you're experiencing is a little known but common symptom of CH called cutaneous allodynia... Pain resulting from an innocuous stimulus to normal skin or scalp by a stimulus that is not normally painful, i.e., touching the skin on the hit side or hair on the top of the head...

Fortunately, I no longer have this problem... no hair left on top... a result of flying Navy fighter jets at the speed of heat above Mach 1 for prolonged periods...

plus... I take the anti-inflammatory regimen with 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 plus the cofactors...

Take care and please keep us posted.

Hey Guz

During my first cluster Jul - Nov 16 I was experiencing what you mention here! Of course, not literally on fire, but even the softest touch of my hair/scalp on cluster side and back of my head was super painful.

With it being my first cluster and having crazy symptoms like this, I was scared as hell! This place helps massively and I too am taking Batch's anti-inflammatory plan... give it a go!
