  2. Hello everyone, I am new to this site and to learning about CH so please forgive my ignorance. I was wondering if anyone here had heard of or know of anyone who presented with the symptoms of CH but did not feel any pain. I know this must sound strange given the level of pain reported by people (such as many of you) who have confirmed diagnoses but I am asking for myself as I have been battling various health issues for the past 6 years. I have managed to overcome/accept/heal most of them but a neurologist recently diagnosed me with having migraines without a headache (I get the aura and the neurological effects of the migraine but 99% of the time no pain). He instructed me to track my triggers, keep to my normal routines and all the typical things that tend to help migraine sufferers. At first I thought I was having 2-3 of these migraines a day but last week I got one of those rare attacks that cause pain. The pain escalated quickly to about a 6/10 on a pain scale, was isolated to the left side of my head (all previous headaches have always been on the left), my left eye felt like something blunt had jammed in it and it was stinging & weeping. The attack only lasted 2 hours and from what I have read a migraine should last at least 4 hours; the pain had a very sudden stop, 1-2 minutes to from pounding to no longer feeling pain. When I started tracking my symptoms using this new information it seems like I am having 7-8 attacks a day and they are generally about 2-3 hours in duration and occur like clockwork around the same time every day. If anyone has any ideas what I could/should do I or if someone has gone through something similar I could really use some direction for when I see the neurologist again. Thanks!
