Congratulations to all the participants in this post! Without a doubt, it's clearly one of the best I've had the pleasure of reading since I started coming here not long after DJ started this site. You've addressed a topic that’s central to why we are drawn to this forum, we're all touched one way or another by the same orphan disorder, cluster headaches.

More importantly, your posts are well thought out and they remain focused on the issues rather than who raised them. As such, it serves as an excellent example of how to address the many problems we all face.

Accordingly, I think this thread needs to be moved up in the sticky section so more members and guests have the opportunity to read through it as a ready reference on an important topic. Bill, Linda, I think you've the permissions to make this happen.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. If it's a beautiful fighter, your heart will be ever there

Getting old enough that all your doctors are the age of your kids. It's depressing and I tell people that my 28 year-old doctor is too young to have experienced any pain. OUCH. Charlie

That way we can grow old together, and he can never blame any of my ailments on old age.

How do you suggest that would come about? When a colloquial phrase catches on, then experts decide to identify the condition with that common term, it would do more harm than good to try to give it a new name.

How many people do you think might start searching on the internet for "Kip's Syndrome?" And should we rename this website kipssyndrome.com? You can see where I'm going. Far fewer people would get the help they need.

It would be like me changing my name at the age of 40 and then wondering why nobody ever calls or writes me anymore.

At least "headache" gets people to stop, look and listen...most of the time anyway. Charlie
