Cluster Headache Attack.Coming down from a Kip 3-4 Level

I turned on my webcam during a mild cluster attack to show what a low level attack is. This is still unbearable and unlike any oth I turned on my webcam during a mild cluster attack to show what a low level attack is. This is still unbearable and unlike any other pain I have personnaly felt. They last 20 minutes for up to 2 hours, and can happen 2-12 times a day, hence the name Cluster Headaches. I am chronic, so I rarely ever get breaks. This is no typical migraine or stress headache. It is like someone ripping a hook through your eye and coming out of the temple while someone is trying to lift you up by it. The pressure in the head is extraordinary, and the pain very exquisite. Painkillers won't touch them, only triptans and oxygen help to abort. I'm not sure I could video myself in an attack Kip 8 or above.

Diagnosed last year, after 25 years of 3 month clusters of 2 to 4 attacks a day, each one lasting 45 minutes. It is torture, capable of breaking you down; with the sleep deprivation and burden to family this relentless agony causes. When we gave up any hope of saviour from the torture it limited the impact the attacks have on our lives, my woman and kids go about their business when I have my attacks now, there is nothing they can do to help. Se la vie.

@TheRasibo oxygen at a high flow rate (25 litres per minutes) will abort a cluster very quickly if you catch it at onset, though it can take a bit longer for the CH's you wake up with. I STRONGLY encourage you to check into o2 therapy for your clusters.

man that is some real accurate music you picked to paint a picture with mack

@jnny3000  Thanks. It was 'very inspired.' ;-)

I'm glad your faith helped you, but if your reason for them is 'spiritual warfare' then you're barking up the wrong tree.

I would prefer you post here what helped so that others can benefit from your info, if in fact it is beneficial. Sorry if I seem abrasive but I spent many years in the church and studying the bible only to find it to be nothing more than a system of control & hypocrisy.

@granaat010  Because Clusters Headaches are f*@ked up and crazy to try and live with. I wrote and recorded the song in 3 1/2 hours time, and it is ABOUT the frustration of living with CH on a daily basis. What did you expect, a lullabye?

@RiffRaffEsq I do 15 LPM usually works,they started me on 8 LPM ,didn't do squat.

Hello, watching your video brings back the all the pain & anguish I use to go through & I sure do feel for you. It’s devastating to have to live like that. I suffered for 20 years with the debilitating clusters before finding a natural remedy that actually took away the pain completely & stopped the clusters in their tracks. It’s been 8 yrs now & I am cluster free, thank God! I made a video that explains what has worked for me & hopefully it will for you too. Wishing you the very best, Andy

... available at your place, but it helps a lot of people in Germany with this kind of desease.

I hope you understood me, as I said before, my English is not the best :D

Hello, sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany:

My father has also cluster headache attacks and he is also chronic. Oxygen doesn't work for him anymore, but there is some other medicine that helps him. It contains one of the following: Lithium acetate or Lithium carbonate. He has to take pills with one of these every day since a year and it helps a lot. His last attack was 10 months ago.

Before taking this medication he had attacks like you every day. I don't know if this medicine is ...

I suffer terrible, crippling pain with ibs and sometimes I feel suicidal, but this sounds much worse. I really feel for you.

@TheRasibo Just thought I'd let you know; appears I was wrong about coffee curing my clusters; the pain I had was around the temple lobe but different; no droopy eye, runny feeling nose and the pain was not so intense. I have just been to a neurologist to finally get my clusters sorted but she says this condition that wakes me and is sorted with coffee is known as hypnic headaches. For the clusters we are looking at a programme of treatment with Verapamil at higher doses and oxygen

[MeleeBacon]

are cluster headaches some kind of disease? or are they a sickness type thing where you can catch one?

[TheRasibo]

@LadyCypher54 If this was America I would probably be able to sue somebody. Got my medical records to support a CV but each cycle was written up as stress and depression, so I don't even have that to show prospective employers why I have had to change job so often. Still pain free though so counting my blessings.
