Hello my name is fernando. i have had cluster headaches for about a year.i get them about three months at a time with three months of remission. so winter and summer are glorious and fall and spring are horrible. most of my family members dont understand what i go through and say im over reacting and treat me like they have gone through the same thing. i have one sister who understands and supports me but even with the support it isn't enough to distract me from the constant fear that any little twitch or sensation i get on the right side of my head is a cluster headache.....other than that i feel amazing

Hi Fernando and welcome,
I was a Spring and Autumn clusterhead! These times of the year are not uncommon for cluster headache disease, but since starting the vitamin D regimen 3yrs ago, I have been CH free.

Cheers Hoppy

Your best response is to keep your focus on learing how to care for youself, working with a skilled doc to gain control over your Clusters.

People who have no experience with conditions which are rare and not part of general knowledge simply have no way of understanding your situation. That they cannot even muster some sympathy, even if they don't understand what you are experiencing, signals that you must protect yourself from them: don't seek understanding from them since they have demonstrated an inaility to be helpful.

Sad to learn about the shortcomings of family and friends. But you must protect yourself from repeated disappointment by seeking their sympathy.
