Constant headaches 7 months

[poppy77]

My friend suffers from this. She is being given BOTOX is from the doctor and has signed up for a few trials of migraine products. I can't remember the name of it but she's got this new device you can wear for a bit every day on your head which lowers migraines. I'll try and find out what it's called. Also, did you see the news recently. There is some medication which has gone through clinical trials and which are very soon to be released that is supposed to cure migraines. Possibly also cluster headaches.

Try to see a chiropractor. I know they can be pricey but often cluster headaches are brought suddenly on by strain. There was actually a tv programme I saw and this lady had horrific cluster headaches every day for years. They took her to a chiropractor who scanned her, noticed some light strain to her upper back, which she traced back to whiplash in a small car accident 10 years before. Five years later she gave birth to two children which made the postural problems worse. With work by the chiropractor, she was cured! I am not saying this would definitely work in your case, but it might be worth a try.

I don't know how open you are to radical treatment, but psychedelics like LSD and Psilocybin have been shown to control cluster headaches. You don't even need to take them all the time, I believe the effects last several weeks at least.

Thank u all for your comments feel very much alone with this condition and suffering with anxiety too makes it even harder. My specialist is trying things to help the only thing that has helped so far is a nerve block but u can only have these every 3 months then there is no guarantee

For 16 months now I've had constant severe headaches my last mri was in 2016. The headaches I get are so severe. I'm under a specialist in Liverpool who thinks I've got cluster headaches and hemicrania continua. Which are chronic headaches. At the moment I'm trying to get my pain under control. Many of u know me from no more panic my anxiety is sky high and I'm wondered about scan results. My mum passed away at 53 she had an anyerasum. Does anyone else struggle with these headaches?

The last 16 months have been hell. I'm now under a specialist he thinks I have cluster headaches. I feel so alone at moment and the pain is draining me down. My specialist is trying different meds, nerve blocks and oxygen nothing at mo is helping. As u can imagine my anxiety is sky high keep thinking I have something bad like an anyersam as my mum had one. Had mri yesterday gotta wait 2 weeks for results
