Re: Could it be cluster headaches

Awe Shirley, I am so sorry. I know how bad headaches can make one

feel. I have lived with headaches all my adult life. I think I am

haveing cluster headaches. Yes the light can make it feel even

worse. I got one now. Going to get a lortab.

Just took a lortab. I look at the clock to see time taken. Nine

am. I get colored lights flash during an headache. Also when I

have a bad one I get a form of tunnel vision. I been to the eye

doctor and he didnt say anything about it.

Haaaaaaa, I am having fun with the subject line. I have put up

subject up every time now if the subject is different. Hun, I

think every med I have causes headaches. If you look on the pain

meds for headaches they can cause head aches too.

HOw long have you been getting headaches? Did they just start when

you started taking imdur? I have started my neck exercises

yesterday for my neck. I forgot who told me about the neck

exercisses. It is working for the neck pain. I hope he/she sends

me more information on the neck exercises.

I hope you have a better night tonight. I feel so bad for you. I

hate headaches, they completely immobilize me. I went to the ER

before for a head ache so bad they didnt give ma a shot strong

enough to help and had to go back. I was just lucky the er doctor

believed me. that was many years ago. Take care hun. I pray your

headache never come back.

gentle hugs everyone

Clora,

Thanks for your sweet and caring reply.

I have had a headache now for about a month or more. I take extra

strength tylenol, but it never goes away.

I think it may be from my heart, maybe not getting enough oxygen to

the brain.

I don't know about cluster headaches. I should google it just so

that I have some knowledge.

I must admit that it did scare me greatly. My father's cancer caused

the most horrific headaches. He almost committed suicide one night

to stop the pain. He was afraid that he would go to Hell, that was

all that stopped him.

I can't take anything strong for pain. Last time I tried, I

upchucked for two days. However, if I ever get another one of those

headaches, I will be in the ER for a shot, hopefully!

Thanks again,

Shirley

Your very welcome Shirley. If I take Excedrin migraine it helps.

My daughter told me, I told her I tried all the over counter meds

for my headaches and can't find anything that works. She said Mommy

try excedrin migraine they work for me. I don't know why they work

but they do. I bought a generic that has the same ingredients and

it didn't work. I guess it's the way they make them.

I have heard about getting forgetful when the one side of the brain

dont get enough oxygen for people with congestive heart failure or

severe asthma.

I am so glad you kept your dad from commiting suicide. Yes we do

believe that in the christian faith. I would have to if it wasnt

for going to hell. THats how bad I have been in pain. Cancer is

the worst I heard, knowing that its about to end and being in

horrable pain. I plan to see my daddy, and my sister when it's

time, and imagine when we see Jesus.

I hope you do try the ER next time they get that bad. You could get

the one doctor that finds out whats causeing your headaches also. I

hate going to the er and they act like your fine why are you here

type of attitude. They did my sister n law that way and my brother

made them know what for haaaaaaaaaa. He is a little loony. She

passed away shortly after. SHe was very ill. She had a great

relationship with Jesus.

Melynda and group;

Melynda I am sorry of your grief. For me it is ok to live with now. I

get teary eyed on fathers day. I miss my sister and my daddy

emmensively. I think depressions and fibromyalgia was really bad

those first few years. I have learned to live with it over time. I

have never gotton over it. I know they are in a better place. A few

weeks before my siser passed she gave her heart to God. My dad was a

minister.

gentle hugs
