I don't know how to thank this site. Firstly just knowing satan hasn't built a control room to specifically torture you is great. Not that knowing a lot more people suffer makes it better. But I feel for the first time i am actually to sharing my pain with people who understand it. I am bored of hearing people say "yeah, i get migranes sometimes too. I know exactly what you are going through.". I just learnt from the site that some people have chronic headaches. I have episodic attacks once a year for about 5 weeks (once or twice a day for 3 hours). My heart really goes out to the people who have to go through it almost every week. I pray to god , infact i am pissed off with him. That is just ridiculous. The least you can do is make it episodic for them.

Sorry if this is a long introduction. I have been having it for 17 years now. (from the time I was 12 ) .For the first 15 years i was diagnosed for deviated septum, migrane, tension headaches and a lot of other things. I have tried all sorts of medicines. Only a couple of years back a neurologist diagnosed it as cluster headaches. Just knowing what it was made me feel so relieved that day.

I am afraid I am going to get an attack this week. Meeting with my neurologist this evening. Last year the pain was really bad and i made trips to the ER room lots of times.

Waiting in fear for the attack is as bad as the attack itself.
But what the hell bring it on. You've tried to slay me for almost two decades. But I can take so much more pain than you in a battle. Trust me you have never had a cluster headache.
