Cluster Headaches/migraines
Does anyone here suffer from cluster headaches? I mentioned my symptoms on a different forum and someone mentioned it sounds like a cluster headache. I've been to many doctors, tried many pain relievers and sleep aids with no avail, and have had a CT years ago that came back normal.
Here's my symptoms:
-Severe pain behind one eye. The pain feels like my eye is going to pop out or like someone is digging it out with a spoon.
-This one is embarrassing but I have suicidal thoughts with the headache. I get really agitated because I feel like it's taken over my life, like I'll never be able to live normally, and the pain is so severe I can only think of making it stop.
-The pain is so severe I vomit and end up passing out.
-There's a sort or brain fog that occurs with it, I can barely think or form a sentence. Often times I crawl on the floor or roll around on the bed until I pass out.
-They occur every couple of months and usually after I wake up from passing out it's gone. I still have brain fog for a while after though.
In between these headaches I have almost daily mild headaches. I'm pregnant now and these little headaches have only gotten more frequent/more intense, they are not to the level of the most severe ones though.
Part of me has given up trying to find what's going on or treatment because nothing has worked and I feel like doctors don't take me seriously. I've had these for about 13 years, started around age 13 for me. Can anyone relate?
