There are so many people surfing the net now days looking for help, and I do think that is all they are doing, or a diagnoses, that we of all people should show a little compassion with migrainers.
So they put in the word "headache" and end up here.
We don't need to be rude but tell them what we think they have and send them to the right place for help, we'd want the same done to us!
Yeah...we know clusters are worst...but do we need to belittle them and their pain?
This site is for exchanging ideas, info, fun and togetherness ect. Let us not become a place of saying my pain is worst than yours, so f(&& off. Lets lead them compassionately to the right place for them. We aren't doctors, but we sure do know the difference between the two! All they want is help as all of us did/do.
I do think that cluster headaches needs a different name than headaches!! Someone who never had one must have named it!
