HELLO EVERYONE...
I have noticed that there are mostly men who are here, and it seems as though most of the people are "after 40". I am a 31 yr. old female... am I a rarity for clusters? and is that why, during my first episode, when I went to a neuro and wanted to talk about the fact I was possibly having a cluster, she poo-pooed me and said it was really rare, and I was just having a lot of migraines in a row (duh?)
I don't think doctors like it when you are intelligent and actually research your own illness... I even brought in literature supporting my claim!!
just curious....and still trying to convince the doctors.
