    HELP!

    Thanks Bejeeber for being so kind and helpful! I am so glad I joined clusterbusters because everyone is so understanding and supportive in here. Only people that suffer headaches know what it is like. It is hard to find doctors that understand what we suffer. The technology today should be able to tell us why some suffer like this and others have never had one headache in their life. It is a shame we are medicated instead of cured. I don't want to sound like I feel sorry for myself, there are others with much worse illnesses. Yesterday I went to see a different doctor and he immediately sent me to the emergency for an urgent assessment because I had a horrible pain in my left eye. I felt as if someone was stabbing me in the eye. I was seen by the ER doctor and he could not figure out what the problem is - I was given different types of medicines and IV therapy but nothing helped I was still in pain! Finally, I was given a referral letter for a neurologist and now I am waiting for my appointment and hopefully it'll be soon! Until I get to see the neurologist I'll definitely follow the above suggestions and I really appreciate them!! Thanks once again everyone! - its a pleasure to be part of clusterbusters!!

    HELP!

    Spiny, you are right doctors love prescribing medicines but they don't fix the actual problem. By the way my doctor prescribed Frova for me and I had some success with it.

    HELP!

    Thanks FG and Spiny for mentioning Indomethacin - I will mention to my doctor to prescribe me Indomethacin and I hope he LISTENS!! I totally agree how doctors are becoming insensitive jerks > I actually tried red bull once and it did not help me much but I will definitely try the combo and melatonin

    HELP!

    I really appreciate all your suggestions guys! I live in Toronto, Canada - doctors are very slow in here, that's why I haven't had a correct diagnosis yet. I will visit my doctor soon and request him to refer me to another neurologist. Dan, thanks for mentioning 02 - I haven't tried 02 but I have heard that its effective in treating headaches. Unfortunately, I can't get an oxygen tank without a doctor's prescription. I did mention about 02 to my doctor but he ignored it.

    HELP!

    Hi Bejeeber - thanks for your concerns! Honestly, I am so frustrated with these dumb doctors bc they think I am exaggerating or making up stories!! The doctor that I am waiting for is actually a neuropsychiatrist - my family doctor thinks it would be a good idea to see a neuropsychiatrist bc I had post-concussion symptoms. Today my headache lasted for 14 hours  :(

    HELP!

    Hello everyone - I am new here! I have been suffering from headaches ever since I was 14 years old and now I am 24. My headaches just keep getting worse and its making my life very complicated. I had a concussion in 2011 and after that my headaches got out of control - I started having different symptoms which is quite different from a migraine headache. I suffer from chronic headaches, and I usually get a one sided headache with this burning sensation in my ear and back of my ear. I usually get these horrible headaches when I am sleeping. My attack ranges from 3 hours to days. I feel very restless and frustrated during my attack because the pain is so intense; however, I prefer to sit still. My one side of head pounds during my attacks which is extremely excruciating. My family doctor does not believe me when I explain to him about my pain - he thinks I am too young to have these kind of miserable headaches. After many requests, he referred me to a neurologist; however, it's been 6 months that I am waiting for my appointment. I did some research on cluster headaches and hemicrania continua - I realized that the symptoms are very similar and now I am not sure if I am suffering from CH or HC - any help would be appreciated!
