Welcome Joey, as most will say, sorry you had to find us.

Have you visited a good neurologists yet so you're 100% you're having clusters? You can take the "custer quiz" on the left hand side of your screen. These are just the initial things new visitors should check out. You'll find more info on here than a doctors office as far as i'm concerned as well as a new family. We all know what you're going through. Stick around, read everything and remember, we all will survive this horrible beast.

I wish you pain free days soon!
We are here for you.

Cheers,
Chad

It's not as common but we have several who have waited for their "second youth" to discover the joys of CH. Glad you found us, hoping we can help you out!

Joe

Welcome Joey.

Yep, I was a late bloomer also. The beast has NO FAVORITES - he'll strike all ages from 2 to 102 and laugh while he's doing it.

Tell us about yourself (we're a nosey bunch around here). What are you taking to abort, prevent, etc. Have you tried O2? Are you married, kids? Is your rear round or flat? :) :) (Ok, I grade rears - I'm OLD - it doesn't take much to amuse me!! Shut up Chuck!)

Seriously, we're a good bunch of people here and we UNDERSTAND what you're going thru and we're here to help. We laugh at ourselves (and each other), but when push comes to shove - we're HERE for ya - don't ever doubt that.

Now pull up a chair and read read read... There's a whole world of info on this site. Ask questions, vent, whatever. We're here for ya...

Hugs BD :-*
