   Gina:

   Have recently been diagnosed with a combination of cluster headache and CPH (at least that what two different groups of neurologist tell me)…Have had continual pain for last 5 months with minimal relief and numerous ER and Urgent Care visits to no avail. I am told some of my symptoms are atypical but most fall within the diagnositic range of these two disorders….

   I have been a migraine sufferer for over 30 years, and never ever had anything like this - I date this constant headache to a couple of ERCP (an endoscopy type of surgery) procedures I had done 5 months ago. I wonder if anyone else can correspond their episodes to surgeries??

   Indomethacin has helped but not cured the headache, also steroids - but have become insulin dependent due to prednisone - sooo no more prednisone for me after I step off it. I also am taking Reglan, Lamictal, and now Seroquel (for sleep aid). I have recently had an occipital nerve block but other than relieving some neck tension and making the back of my head sorta numb it has not helped.

   Medications I have tried but did not help are Topamax (or Tippymax as I called it - couldn’t walk very well when I took it - weebles wobble but don’t fall down!!) verapamil LA, Inderal (had an allergic reaction), toradol injections, relpax (helps for about 4 hours), DHE infusions, Depakote infusions, and various narcotic/antinausea/antihistimine cocktails by ER docs.. I feel like a walking chemical depository! Still with headache!!

   I was diagnosed while inpatient for status migrainosus at a hospital associated with a medical school - I at least had 4-5 neurologists in a group coming by and evaluating my symptoms, sometimes a group consensus works.

   I have only 3-4 episodes per day where the pain gets worse.. This has been very disabling but I work in the IT industry and have the best bosses in the world.. Admitting the amount of disablilty has been the hardest for me..

   Wishing you the best in your search for a cure or relief - don’t know what I would do with so many episodes per day - the number I have is bad enough. Thank you for your blog….I feel better knowing that when my docs say this is a tough disorder to treat, they are tellling the truth!

   Any kind of physical sensation is an indicator that either the Chi to the target area is blocked or Potassium are depleted, or both.

   Looking down too long or no breakfast, always have headache after lunch. trapizium and two big muscle on both side of spine are in spasm.

   looking to one side too long and the opposit side will have headache any time of the day. when upper 2/3 of SCM tighten up, you might experience dizzy and nausea.

   nose problem always due to eat too late and too much at night,check both sides, at same level of your billy button,there are pain points.

   above are the CAUSES-etiologies, when there is cause, there is cure- don’t looking down too long, don’t looking to one side too long, and don’t eat too late or too much.

   High protein and high fat breakfast is essential which set the tune for the whole day. eat lunch and eat very lettle supper.

   potassium supplement recommd or small amount of classic potato chips, wash down with small glass of soda for supper.

   by the way, old injury must be treated oit will haunt you for rest of your life.

   good luck.

   Have you gone to see a doctor, seems to me like you may have caused some type of sinus rupture of serious infection, especially if this has been lasting for days, keep us informed, I’m interested to see what you find out.
