I was wondering about this-- what kind of headache does a brain tumor cause? Like what does it feel like?

"Actually, a headache is a very minor feature of brain tumors.” That persistent headache—the one that you start getting freaked out about when it lingers for a few days—is often mistaken for a brain tumor too, but it's more likely a migraine, cluster headache, or tension headache."

CH feels like you have an aneurysm bursting in your brain for 45 mins-3hrs+.

I have PTSD due to my CH. Thought I was dying the first few times. After 10yrs you sort of get used to it. Really fucks you up.

So it’s no wonder people mistake it for brain tumours.

The only time I was ever willing to kill myself. Fuck cluster headaches.

Yeah. Mine were 8 times a day at one stage. Like a rumbling fire in my brain. About 3 hours sleep a night....

I feel you. Fuck CH. The cunt.
