Wow am I glad I found this site! Just having a place to go where others know what's going on with you is terrific. I've been a ch sufferer for over 20 years. To this day it amazes me how little the medical community really know about it. Fortunately I found a family doctor who listens to me and respects my research on ch. So glad to be here! :)

Welcome, you are among friends.

Def. a great deal of information to be had here and a great deal of experience.

Do you have a good Neuro? Family Doctors and General Practitioners are helpful, but I've found experienced Neurologists in CH, can be a god send. They can, however, be difficult to find.

I live in Northeast Pa. and have been fortunate to have a very good Neuro in the area. I'm sure other members can pass on information in the areas they are from should you need it.

I agree, it's amazing how little the medical community knows of us. Many General Practitioners, never come across us in there entire careers.

All the best and hope to hear more from you. Sounds like this ain't your first rodeo...

Wecome niteflight.

The reason we ask where you ;live is that sometimes we'll have someone who lives near you and can help with a doctor in their area and whatnot.

It's a great feeling that many before you have had when they "googled" Cluster headaches and found their way to this site where we all understand more than you know, what you're going thru.

Stick around, read, read, read all the forums and ask questions. That's what this site is all about.
