Hi Friends, And I do mean friends. Since I found this site I have never felt understood when I talk about my clusters. Here everyone knows. Thank you. Only 1 ch last night. yes! I saw a new neurologist today, she was supposed to have a special intrest in headaches. notice supposed. She was nice and listened, went thru all the motions, relexes, interview etc. etc.... But I truly felt like she didn't hear what I was saying. I've had these THINGS for 10 years.(episodic) Her comment to me was "how do you know they are clusters?" "migraines can be in clusters but they are not REAL clusters" By then I was just about ready to cry. Another doc without a clue. I told her that I know what I have and asked her if she would like to feel MY headaches to see if they are REAL clusters. She gave me some Imitrex and sent me on my way, to call her next week if the dosage was not working. Now I'm absolutely sure every one here has gone through this. I'm sorry if I have vented. Thanks. I just needed someone to talk to. It's 1;30 am I'm afraid to sleep. IT'S due in 1 hr. Wendy if you are out there, thank for your reply. Send me your email address if you want. I'd like to hear from you. Pain Free Night To You All jen
