Could be my reading comprehension skills are sketchy, but are you saying people with cluster headaches don't get migraines? I'm not takinga defensive stance here anyone. I'm curious about this. If this is true, is there a reason for it that we know of? For the last week and half i've had an on-going migraine that I attribute to being tumor related or meds related. I still have my usual scheduled clusters on top of it. Maybe I don't know what a migraine is, but i sure as hell know what a cluter is.
This has been something I've held similiar views about. We do a great diservice to others when we don't tell them we don't think they have cluster headaches. They can't get the right help, and it puts info on the board that is in-accurate.
On the issue of CPH, for the record I think of it as being related enough that we need our CPH'ers around to help others who come here not knowing which they have. We need them and they need us. We can both identify with the same kind of pain.
