I also only have CH diagnosis; however, I do have shadows (slight headachy feeling on the same side as my CHs). It's not all the time, but the farther into the cycle I get, the more the shadows stick around. It's like a slight headache feeling to remind you that the beast is dormant waiting to hit again.

We moved from Alabama to the Denver, CO metro area in April. This is my first attack since moving here. I've read a lot about how altitude can play a role is the severity of the attacks, but mostly when people fly. Is anyone from the area that has any insight? I also got hit on Thursday night right after getting my first prescription filled for Emgality. I hate that I didn't get to take it before my cycle hit because I've heard that Emgality is more for prevention than anything else. It's day 2, and I've already had several CHs. None going over a 5, but typically, I have a "soft" ramp up week in the beginning of my cycle before they get worse, so I'm having a hard time believing the Emgality is making them weaker just yet. Also, is Emgality a blocker for mm like Sumatriptan is? If so, how long do I need to detox the medicine before dosing on mm again?

Thank you. I guess CH brain was making me blind to it.

Hello Fellow Clusterheads, I'm currently in the middle of my worst attack to date. I dosed 2 days ago, and the slapbacks I've received are killing me. My wife and I will be moving to Denver in a couple months which means I'll need to change doctors. I found a list of approved doctors that specialize is cluster headaches on here a couple years ago, and I can't track it down. Can anyone link me to it, please? Pain free wishes <3

My body temperature freaks out. I'll be freezing cold, but be drenched in sweat from the pain. Especially at night. If I get one at work, I sweat from the stress from being at work with a headache.

Cold rag to the right side of my head with so much pressure that I feel like I may actually crush my skull. Oragel to my gums to numb the pain in my teeth.. even though it only last a few minutes. My vibrator is my best friend.
