Migraines. But, in the trade, I get to drink my wine and smoke pot.

Jonny,
I love you fucking CHRONICS always up to keep me company, here on the west coast.
Bong?….bong….hmmm….I vaguely remember….WHAAAA….WHAAAA.. I’m a baby and I need my pacifier.
Yea man, I thought it was the Humbolt Indica that was making my head expload, so three weeks ago, I tried ¼ bong hit of Mexican dirt. WRONG! I was way cool (well, way cool for me) for two hours, then, shadows, shadows, SHADOWS….BIG ONE! What a dumb fucking thing to do! I’m still amazed at the clusterheads who had the guts to find out that “Tequila is the only alcohol that doesn’t set me off”. Jeeze, I had 2 non-alcoholic beers, about 4 weeks ago, and I’m still kicking myself. Hell, I feel the shadow increasing just thinking about it.

Well,
I would love to comment on the dialogue and banter that has been carried on in this post, but me things that wisdom precludes me from doing so.
That being said, I will throw my hat in the ring on the original topic.
I had major brain surgery and almost died at a very young age. I have suffered from migraines for absolutely as long as I can remember. The first one I remember I was 4. They always just said it was because of scar tissue and never got me any treatment.
When I was 14, the clusters started, and I thought I was going crazy. They all kept telling me that headaches don't just come and go like that.
I have gone to work more than 10 times this year with migraines lasting as long as a week. I can control my atmosphere with migraines and at least get some work done. Dimmer lights or Sunglasses, ear plugs, coffee, imitrex.........they at least make me more comfortable and I Can function.
With CH, no way. No migraine has ever made me want to off myself. No migraine has ever made me so angry I wanted to kill someone. Though they have made me depressed they have not severely effected me psycologically. CH on the other hand puts me totally off kilter. This morning I writhed for an hour - fortunately I have been waking up with just one each night - fear of going to bed, rage that builds up inside me during one of these things......there is no comparison....and that pain.....I blew the ACL ligament, parital tear of the MCL, and 30 % of the cartilege in my knee.......as bad as that was, there was no comparison.
Yeah, it goes away.....but when will it come back? While asleep? While driving after a stressful day? While in church, or while I am preaching? I can prepare myself for migraines.....there is no preparation for CH except to have O2 and imi around.
I'll take my migraines any day, just don't let this beast over take me again.

I guess everyone knows my answer to the question that's the subject for this thread, but after spending the day a bit more humble than the day before, I figured maybe I should explain the way I feel...
Before I found this site, a few years ago, the only person I really talked about my headaches to suffered from severe migraines. She experienced much the same frustration with people unable to understand what she had to go through with her migraines as I did with my CH. We both tried to hide our afflictions from everyone, and never talk about them if we didn't have to do. We were both alone before we met each other, and alone again when we lost touch.
We never assumed one had it worse than the other, although there was times when I thought I could be the lucky one. She would at times spend days locked in her room... No lights... No sound... Not even the TV or radio. She had these huge, thick curtains on her windows to block out as much light as possible. All she could do is lay in bed, holding her head, and try her damnest to move as little as possible. She said there were many times the pain was so bad that she would have done anything to stop it. She wasn't a religious person, but everytime she got hit, she found herself praying for an end for hours, just mumbling to herself. She told me that no matter how bad the pain of the headache and nausea normally was, even a slight movement could make it that much worse. She couldn't hardly eat or drink because half the time she'd just puke it back up, and she hardly slept because the pain just made it impossible. This all could last for days, unremitting, until it would finally leave.
Even when she wasn't having a migraine, she was afraid to go anywhere... Afraid she'd get a migraine while in public. And she continuously had to worry about what she ate or drank. Her only hope was to avoid the triggers, because none of the meds worked. Even with avoiding the triggers, she'd get hit sometimes. Because of this, she lived everyday in fear. May the Gods bless my friend for what she has gone through and lived with.
My CH hurts like a son of a bitch, but I have seen what migraines can be like, and know that it'll be of no benefit to trade one Hell for another. I have respect for anyone that finds a way to deal with severe chronic pain, be it migraines, CH, or one of the million other causes out there, and I'll never belittle nor envy their pain.

Ahhhh. that's why the reverend hits on other women and makes personal cracks against anyone who disagrees with his right wing, inbred thought process. And I thought it was because he realized he could just confess and be a bad role model because of it. I've got to learn more about these folks who try and get respect by exploiting God.

Ted,
You can crack on me as a republican all you want to....it is fun when we banter back and forth about that. But let me tell you, sir -
#1 - I have not now nor have I ever "hit" on any other woman than my wife. I am happily married and my wife reads these boards along with me.
#2 - I have not at any time exploited my relationship with God sir. I do not even ask for money when I go to a church to preach and I receive no benefit by being a preacher other than the satisfaction that I am doing what God wants me to do.
I have no problem with joking back and forth, but this post is ludicrous at best and at worst is inflamatory, and offensive.
I hadn't been this angry in a long time.

Is this how you encourage people to come and find help  on this site or are you just trying to show us that anger and fighting with each other is the way to battle the beast!  l
For me pain is pain and NOBODY has the right to tell somebody else that their pain, whatever it is, is little!Forgive me if i don't get this my pain is bigger than your pain SHIT! PS; WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE for what we would rather have !

That's fair, Rev. Sorry. It was said in the same vain as our usual lame banter and button-pushing attempts back and forth.
Now, wake up to the real world and see that ultra-right wing thoughts like yours don't work.

I don't need to tell migrainers that my pain is worse than theirs...they already know it. I have several friends who get migraines and whenever they talk about their headaches they always preface it by saying "it's nothing like what you go through..."
There are 2 main reasons why I KNOW that I would rather have migraines than clusters:
1. I have never met ANYONE with migraines who have wanted to kill themselves because of the pain.
2. Migrainers can sleep!!
