Since none of our replies went up immediately after posting them, I would assume they are editing them, and only putting up the ones they see fit too.

I put my opinion in, that lady is a crock, can you say reasearch???  More men than women??  Give me a break, we are still being stereotyped...it also sounds to me that this guy with "ch" read some symptoms and then decided he was a sufferer...wierd.

If thats the case, its a bunch of BS! I know they do that kind of crap but if someone responds, whether good or bad, it should still be allowed to be there .. *sigh*

Quote:
Unlike migraine, most cluster headache patients are male.


In fact the ratio is believed to be 2.1:1 male to female.

So yes more men than women get clusters, but the way they use MOST implies that there are very few women that suffer and that is not correct.

I get sick of seeing that quote.   >:(  Women make up a great percentage of this board - lets try to get out of the stone age docs.

There are now 15 responses.......and mine isn't up yet, so there are probably more to go up.

This is great........let's keep this one going.

Since they asked for an active email add. I figure they will confirm my add. during normal business hours and post my reply. Some people don't have auto responders after all.
I will not stoop to mentioning that Iowa stands for Idiots Out Walking Around. Nope wrong time of year for that sort of thing. So I won't do it.

This is a great opportuninty.  Every one here needs to get their ass over there and post something about your pain.  We can overwhelm them and maybe some one over there will try to make a real "story" about us and get us the attention we so desparately need.  Now get to work people. ;)

Posted last night. My response showed up today. Looks like they are posting ALL responses so far. Guess it takes awhile. I'm not sure if the original guy "Duane" has clusters. As I said on my post, he is lucky if he does have clusters. A couple a month would sure be nice compared to 3 or more a day.

Cat,

  The poll takers never spent a week-end in Ny I'll bet.  In a small town, at a resort in Alexandria Bay and at a certain cabin.    Probably would have gotten an ear full.


Going to post mine now.     LindaH

Just replied.  I know the article is imcomplete, but it is a lot better than anything I have ever seen in my paper.  I'm glad we got at least a little ink.  Maybe it is a start.
