Professor emeritus Dr,med Ottar Sjaastad and neurologist  Inge Monstad is the only 2 honorary memberships we gave out at the symposium in Haugesund.

You should have been there and listen to their speaches

All i would say is

WOW what a capacity those 2 are .
Sjaastad was Inge Monstad`s mentor

For the record

Professor emeritus Ottar Sjaastad has 19 dr-degrees in the field of headaches.

Such a shame he has no outside interests . . . .

As an attendee and presenter in Haugesund, please let me try to answer that question... There were over 70 folks in attendance at the Clustersymposium.  I didn't take a poll, but it appeared nearly half were migraine sufferers...  That's a very impressive attendance given the population of Norway is less than 5 million... The US has a population of over 300 million...

What I found most impressive was the fact that Professor emeritus Dr. Ottar Sjaastad and Dr. Inge Monstad were in attendance at the Clustersymposium from the early "Hello and hugs" greetings on Friday, all the way through to the long "Goodbyes and Farewell Hugs" on Sunday.  They made themselves available to every attendee from breakfast each morning to late into the evening each night and no questions were off limit...

V/R, Batch

Having been to two of these symposiums, let me add my thoughts on it.

One of the great things that this group does, is NOT exclude other types of headaches.  They welcome those that have migraines.  They work TOGETHER to get results, and they DO get results!  So although many in the group do not have cluster headaches, they all work together to get results for whatever type of headache that you are suffering from.

Also, I agree with Batch's assessment of the two doctors, they are WONDERFUL human beings!  When I was there last year (with Tony) we got to know Dr. Sjaastad better than I got to know Dr. Monstad, yet BOTH were very open to questions, and WANTED to get to know, and talk to, as many people there as they could.

They are two VERY learned, and compassionate men!  Svenn's group is very lucky to have these two pioneers in their midst.
