Do any of your medical spouses, or YOU for that matter, suffer from migraine headaches? My husband does, and I found that during residency it was more severe (1 to 3 migraines a week). He also suffers from cluster headaches (the worst pain known to medicine), and he had more cycles of them during residency. The cycles of clusters would last 2 to 3 months, with about 2 to 5 cluster heachaches a day.
I am very interested in hearing about your experiences with migraine or cluster headaches, and I would also like to share my experiences. Now that we have finished residency, I have noticed an improvement in Andrew's headaches.
I think physicians are in a unique position when they get sick. As a resident, Andrew felt compelled to go until he dropped. He was reticent to share his medical affliction with attendings and other residents for fear of being perceived as less capable. He worked through all but one migraine in his entire 5 year residency.
Let me know you stories!
In the spirit of information sharing, hoping to find triggers,
