I sent a post yesterday but it never went through. Jonny, I apologize for unloading on you. I was totally out of line. I know that you were trying to be helpful by sending me to a migraine site but in my drug induced head, I took it as "another person passing me off". I just want you all to know that I feel and understand your pain. I have suffered with migraines which were diagnosed at 16 as clusters. It has only been within the last three years (I'm now 37)that I have found a doctor that cares, listens and has devoted his life to ending the beast because he suffers from CH. My migraines don't just come once a year. They come every year and last every day for 3 months. I have taken all the meds you have and have dealt with the shakes, tremors, nausea, hotflashes, weakness, etc. I too have been to the emergency room only to be looked at as a "drug seeker"! I too have rammed my head into the wall, pulled out clumps of hair, thrashed in pain on the floor in front of my loved ones that are totally helpless as to how they can help. I so apologize for calling you a cluster jerk and do not put you all or your situations on a lower level than mine. Jonny thank you for the sites and I will visit them from now on. By reading all your posts in the past I felt I totally related and had a home but I understand this is for cluster sufferers. God Bless to you all and prayers go out for your relief.
