This is exactly why people go undiagnosed. People thinking "oh it must not be that bad" or "youre overreacting." Im just asking questions so i can further figure out what my headaches are. I broke my arm in three places and it took me a month to convince a doctor to x ray it and figure it out. Pain is different for Everyone. Sorry to unload on you, but you just hit a nerve there.

I got glasses and all that. And i read up and cluster headaches, and supposedly you can stop getting them for a long period of time (mine stopped for about a year) and then start again out of nowhere, which mine did. Do you find yours are at exactly the same time every day? Mine are like clockwork. Ive just seen a general practitioner but may see a specialist.. Im taking zolmitriptan almost twice a day (the maximum amount). And im a 19 y/o female. Thanks for responding!

Hey! Thanks for the AMA. I get migraines pretty frequently and actually just found out about the cluster ones. How do you describe a cluster migraine? When I get a migraine I cant eat, rarely sleep and sometimes cant walk. My eyes pour tears sometimes and i cant help it. My doctors just keep prescribing me stronger painkillers that pretty much just help me sleep. Did you see a specialist or how did you get diagnosed?

I am aware. Thank you though.
