I am new and after 20 years of thinking i had migraine's have just discovered they are clusters.when i read some of the stories. I felt like those people where in my room when i have one.I thought i was crazy actually hitting my head against the wall,to change it,
untill i came to this site.It is comforting to know other people experience the same thing but mostly that someone else really UNDERSTANDS! Thank you!

Welcome to the board, when you get a chance, let us know what you've been prescribed, what does and doesn't work for you, maybe we can give you some suggestions to take back to your doc. Glad you found us.

Hello and welcome

It's quite an experience to suddenly realise you're no longer alone but one of so many people here who understand just what we go through.

Tell us more about your CHs, how you were finally diagnosed with CH, what you've been given to treat them and anything else you can think of. Hopefully you've a preventive (like verapamil / lithium / topomax) to cut down how many CHs you get and abortives (like oxygen and injectable imitrex) to kill off CHs that get through.

Read like mad and ask all the questions you can think of.

Getting an actual diagnosis from a competent Doctor should be your first step, if you haven't already done so.
