I find it hard to explain what it is like to go through a cluster headache. Persistent clusters, such as every night or every other night, severely limits my work. I am a farmer, by the way. When I tell people it is because of clusters, they relate to me how they work in spite of sinus problems, or theri last hangover. I tell them that they don't even know what a headache is!!!!!!! How do you express the severity of "my demon of the night" as I call them.

Also, I have had many of them, and have begun to rate them on a scale of 1-10. I call a 9 or 10 as a suicidal level. Does anyone else have varying severities-------and do you rate them?

To my fellow sufferers----------hang in there. This is one person that knkows first hand how horrible the pain is.
