I think it would help a lot if co-workers could understand what I am going thru
during an attack.
My luck was it, that my boss heared about it already before and she really seems to
understand. It is not some kind of pity for me during an attack but real caring for the
best of me (like sending me home without me even asking etc)
With the co-workers there is some trouble, like these looks saying
'Oh, so he's wants to get home early'.
Only the ones who saw mw with a bloodshot eye and my behaviour during an attack 'know' there
is more to it.

If clusters would be accepted and understood I wouldn't have to listen to comments like
'So the doctor made up a name for it to keep you happy'.....

I am not thinking of clusters as a handicap but it surely is something that effects ones
quality of life and it is even harder if others think you are making something up
or something like that.

Understanding and accepting is quite important to ease the suffering a little.

Have a painfree time,
Lars
