This is my first post here at this site, although I have been to it before. I have been going through clusters since about '90, getting them for about a 6 week period every 14 months or so. This past year, I did not get any and thought that perhaps I had outgrown them( if that sort of thing is possible) and was thanking every god I could think of that I had. That was until last friday night. And here it came with a vengeance. I can see, after reading some of the other posts, that, although I have it worse than many, there are those here that have it much worse than I. And from one sufferer to another, I honestly can say that I feel your pain. I was glad in ,91 to put a name to my affliction, and even more happy last year when I found this site and realized that there are others out there that understand what I go through.
We know what it is like to have doctors look at us like we are stupid or idiotic for coming to the emergency room for a SIMPLE HEADACHE. HOW DARE WE, right?
Thank you every one for your strength and courage, you help the pain more than a hundred midrin.
