Cluster Headaches are also known as suicidal headaches. If you or a close family member suffers from these types of headaches here are some thoughts about the causes, diagnoses, common symptoms, and what I go through when an attack comes on to manage them.
As you can imagine having Cluster Headaches on top of Pseudotumor Cerebri Headaches (IIH or BIH), plus Occipital Neuralgia creates quite a myriad of pain waking up in the morning. Physically it is first and foremost completely exhausting. Psychologically it is not only draining (and yes, you can say depressing at times), but very debilitating. Probably the most frustrating aspect has been living with this pain while trying all that the medical community can offer, unsuccessfully.

I am writing more about that on another web page that I am developing www.onemomentintime.life Appropriate name, don’t you think 😉
