"How am I supposed to know that these headaches are that bad?" - Actual quote from a former Neurologist.
"Dude, there's nothing wrong with you. It's all in your head. You feel pain because you expect to. Your brain is trained into thinking this way and that is what causes them. Oh, MRI's and CT Scans don't show anything wrong? Well there you go." - Sadly, my drummer
"Oh your getting one of your headaches. Would you like to lie down?" - Numerous ignorant people.
"Oh, so you mean you were just in agonizing pain a few minutes ago, and now you're all fine? I don't see how that is possible." - A clueless idiot
Ah, it never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of mankind.

"Oh it's a migraine, if you threw up it would feel better"
DUH........if that worked I'd be fucking PUKING each time....AND SKINNY
"Oh I had that one time"......well dummy IF you did, you wouldn't be saying such a STUPID thing.
"Oh so & so gets those"
BUT....fear not.....word is getting out more....during a Christmas party recently, I was explaining to a friend why I had been basically MIA for the last month. Once I started explaining how it was and how it hurted he said - "OH, that sounds like those headaches a guy at work gets that are so bad, he calls them CLUSTER HEADEACHES" - they are learning, slow but sure

ckelly, apparently we have the same MOTHER!
faves of mine:
"Was it something you ate?"
"Go lie down"
"Have you tried....(any migraine med)?"
"OH! I just heard about a new migraine medication coming out"
"These can't be clusters, because you're a woman"
"These can't be clusters because you get them everyday"
"Well, you've tried all the medications I know of...what do you want to try next?"
"On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain you've ever felt, what would you rate this pain?".....Hold on while I catch my breath from SOBBING to answer you!!

I was actually told one time that since I only have them once a year or once every other year, that there was nothing the Dr could do and since they only lasted 4-8 weeks that I should bear with it. You know that Dr had never felt the pain of the beast.

My neuro still hasn't officially diagnosed CH or CPH yet for me because of the whole "no point in treating" comment...and as they got worse and woke me up more and more and I lost more and more sleep and weight, I refused to call their office because of that comment!
However, I will have to have a little chat with him when I go in for admission because he knows a lot about CH and CPH........just that once you are already diagnosed as one headache type, lotsa times they refuse to believe that you can have more than one type or that your symptoms don't fit in a neat-o little box for them. (In my case, I got diagnosed with new daily persistent headache and migraine first.)

Oh yeah...
"You don't SMELL like a cluster headache sufferer"
A neurologist's caring comment in 2001, followed by giggles from the accompanying nurse.
(alluding to the well-known myth that we must all be lushes and smokers, and thus, bring the pain on ourselves)
As to the "there's no point in treating these" statement above - I'm seeing red!

I hate ER Doc's
My personal experience
ER Doc - Lake Havasu Dr. Ward
Refering to Chronic surreres..
"I don't take pride in treating patients like you".
This was after he gave me toradol which I told him does not work... O2 which again I told him does not work.... And some other happy sh$% that did nothing but
make me itch. This was 7 hour ER visit... By the time I left, the CH was over, not because of anything he did.
On another visit.. they gave me 10 of Nubain... about 10 min later they gave me another 10... There was a miscomunnication and they accidentaly gave me a double dose... This was Dr. Ward again.
I had another one call me a liar to my face.. My lawyer wrote him a letter the next day.. He was very appologetic.
