You are a hero.
You are enduring.
God or the devil or someone else or maybe just nature had to give out so may cluster headaches.
Every headache you endure is one less that someone else had to endure.
Suffering is a bit like virtue - it is its own reward.
Don't look for pity - don't look for plaudits and don't look for understanding - you will never get those things - at least in any way that is commensurate with your suffering.
Take some pride in the fact that you can endure a cluster and can cope with being chronic.
You are a hero.
I am my own hero.
Be your own hero.
