Is there such sickness called the cluster headaches?
Yes. Cluster headaches are an especially severe kind of episodic headache, to the point where they are also known as "suicide headaches." There is no confusing them with tension headaches. Cluster headaches involve extremely severe, one-sided head pain which is centered around the eye. The pain is stabbing, throbbing in nature.
Cluster headaches are so-named because the people who have them will have them every day, usually for a period of weeks or months. They will start at around the same time every day. Thankfully, while other types of headaches, such as migraines, may last for days, cluster headaches usually last a short amount of time, such as 30 minutes to an hour. During the rest of their day, they will be symptom free, although being in such intense pain can be exhausting.
Not all people who have cluster headaches will have them go away after weeks or months. They will have what is known as Chronic Cluster Headaches, which means that every single day they will be hit with intense pain.
Other symptoms that go along with the pain of cluster headaches are the eye on the affected side tearing up, as well as the nostril on that same side suddenly running, although these symptoms do not happen in all people. For some people, the eyelid will droop.
More men than women are affected by cluster headaches.

Where in the head is a migraine?
A migraine headache is a neurological disorder and a specific primary headache classification. There are 4 stages to a migraine attack:
- Prodrome
- Aura
- Pain/headache
- Resolution/Postdrome
A migraine attack may contain any one or more of these stages.
Pain is usually one-sided and throbbing and can range from mild to incapacitating, lasting hours to days. A Migraine lasting over 3 days is called status migrainousus and is considered an emergency.
The pain of migraine is only part of an attack however, as migraines actually herald a whole host of changes to the entire body.
There are two main types of migraine acknowledged by the International Headache Society, but there are many sub-categories which may be used to help identify the patient's particular symptoms. The two main types are: migraine without aura (used to be called common migraine), and migraine with aura (used to be called classic migraine).
Other types of migraine diagnoses a patient may receive are:
- Retinal migraine (migraine with aura in one eye)
- Hemiplegic migraine (a type of migraine with aura)
- Migraine with brainstem aura (used to be called basilar artery migraine)
- Acephalgic migraine (migraine without pain)
- Transformed migraine (migraine that had an episodic pattern, now with chronic pattern)
- Chronic migraine (migraine and headache 15 days or more per month)
- Vestibular migraine (migraine with vertigo)
- Abdominal migraine
- Complicated migraine (migraine with aura and stroke-like symptoms)
Migraines are usually triggered by environmental and other factors that change the homeostasis of the body/brain of the patient. Triggers often include:
- red wine
- MSG, aspartame, nitrites and other food additives
- weather
- caffeine
- menstruation
- dehydration
- changes in sleep pattern
- changes in normal eating pattern
- medications
- physical exertion
- bright lights
- strong smells
- loud noise

Is Spina Bifida connected to your headaches?
Yes it can. I suffer from spina bifida occulta which affects at least two of my lower vertebrae. Over time this has led to deterioration in my discs and MRI scans have revealed considerable wear and tear to the area. Severe pain is often experienced in my lower back along with spasms which are so painful that they render me totally immobile. I also suffer considerably from severe headaches. Sadly in my experience most General Practitioners and even Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons are not very familiar with this condition.
