[QUOTE="Star*, post: 205139, member: 4964"] SusieStar My sister when she was around Jess' age used to get Clusters. VERY VERY bad debillitating ones. She said that her face would swell. Her's were so bad in fact that they led her to 2 suicide attempts to get out of the pain. She would literally lay on the floor and bang her head on the ground to try to eliminate the pressure. When she thought about slitting her wrists? It was ONLY to relieve the pounding and pressure - she too would be taken to the ER to get shots. I get crippling migraines on occasion and can't walk, talk, - I can hear, can't open my eyes and I get a cocktail of Morphine and some muscle relaxer it's wonderful - The only relief I get from migraines monthly is Relpax. I've tried everything else - but at $29 a pill WITH insurance - you find yourself picking and choosing WHICH headache is bad enough to swallow the spendy pill. It's sad because if I could have a few each month I could take them at the ONSET of (light fairys) and stop it all right then. I hope Jess finds some relief.....have you ever pushed on her head like compressed it while she's hurting? Sometimes that helps me..... Hugs [/QUOTE]
