Hi Elaine
I have had clusters for more than 20 years and I am really tired of them getting mixed up for migraines and treating them incorrectly.
DJ made this site for cluster sufferers. Migraine sufferers, as Todd said, have their own problems but they are different than ours. I have a lot of sympathy for headaches of ANY kind but because we have been lumped together with migraine sufferers for so long, it's imperative that we find a place to come to vent and to work together to find a cure. There IS a difference. There is a place for everyone and THIS is the place for cluster sufferers and their supporters.
We're getting away from the original purpose of this website. Clusters and migraines are treated much differently and no one wants a misunderstanding in the cures for each.
I rarely post, but I really feel this is important.
Well said, Elaine.
Mike
