Title: Hello - I am idehya
Post by idehya on Jun 1^st, 2013 at 10:13am

Hi - i am idehya and suffer from these headaches. People thought it was not real for years, but recently this type of condition has gotten more attention. I have suffered with migraines and clusters for about 20 years.
I am glad to know that such a support forum exists and hope to get acquainted with everyone. :)

We're glad you found us! :) Dual diagnosis of cluster AND migrains, that sucks. :-/ We have several on the board with the dual issues, I guess comparatively speaking I'm lucky since I only get CH! Are you fortunate enough to be working with a decent headache specialist? Do you have an effective treatment program? Let us know a bit more when you get a chance maybe we can throw some suggestions out to take back to your doc.

Joe

Hi Idehya and welcome

Tell us more about your CH and migraines, what you take for it and anything else you think useful and we can give some targeted advice.

It can be fun having both CH and migraines. There is a degree of overlap between the two in how they are treated, but then something which work well for one don't for the other.

Do read around and you'll learn a lot, ask any questions you have...
