Sourland I know how you feel. I had cluster migrans most of my life. They would last for weeks. I even went to the hospital by ambulance had off the chart high blood pressure caused by the headaches. Did MRI's, Cat scans doctor said learn to deal with them. You name it we tryed it.
Had to do PT for a shoulder injury, and it made the migrans sooooo BAD. When I told the doctor she sent me for a xray, she followed me to the hospital to look at the xray. The first thing she ask was when did I have a neck fusion, told her never she showed me a natrual fucion on the xray C5 to C6 , I was born with it, thanks mom. After a few more test we found out that that C4 and C7 were all messed up. Any way they fusioned C4 to C5 and decided to wait on doing C6 to C7 until later, will lose all movement in my neck then. I have not had any migrans since then, that was 4 years ago. It was the BEST thing I have ever done, getting that fusion done saved my life. I haven't changed much that do I just learned to do some things differntly, Tho only thing I have given up was riding the horses. Was told if I fell and hurt that part of my neck, C6 and C7, area I could become a quad and being parilised (sp) from the neck down is not how I want to live.
I truely hope you find some relieve from your headaches
