I can understand your frustration in being asked to give more information than others on your clusters.
However, What you post, 18 hr cluster, 3 to 4 day cluster. Thoes symptoms do not fall into the exact relm of cluster headaches. That is why people are asking you for the extra information. Not to be rude or to put you down. Just to get a better understanding of what you are experancing.
Re: your friend who pased away from AIDS. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
I do not understand why you felt the need to say he cought it from one of his paients. Did he stick him self with a needle he used on that person, or did he get it from having sex with that person? HIV is not as easily cought as people think. You realy have to put your self at major risk or have just a fluk accedent. (like sticking your self with a needle.) Sorry for saying this. It just sounded to me that you were blaming the patient for your friends death.
My husband (Joel) and i have had this debate before. We agreed that yes, I suffer excruiateing pain daily. And mabie for the rest of my life.
He lives in fear of death on a daily bases.(mental pain)
What we agreed on was that we boath are fucked! And, that neither desease is worse or less creditable than the other. We are together to take care of each other and give support and love. Not, to see who can cry the loudest.
