Hi Gary. My most recent never-ending bout may have me a bit defensive, but I have to respond...
I didn't say anything about self-diagnosis. I recommended Dr. and Neuro. I recommended going armed with medical info.
From experience and from what I read here, it seems that a lot of us have SUFFERED needlessly while going from doc to specialist, ruling out every other possible ailment. My point was to try to find someone competent and knowledgable somewhat sooner than later. If I would have even known of the existence of Cluster Headaches when I first fell prey, I could have helped to save myself from months of torture.
Your points are accurate. Mine were not dangerous. I'm defensive, and I apologize.
