Ree, I used to get migraines, haven't had them since menopause, when clusters kicked in, although one day-long cluster attack might have been repeated clusters with a migraine thrown in. At that point I could not gtell any more.
And there are more of us who get the double bill...

Same here Sammy.
I have no real idea what a migraine is like.
Not that I'm complaining

Excellent research Don 
The MNHI article is one of the best I've read until now. It is short enough that every un-cooperating neuro should be forced to read it, if needed at guns point.
However, it does contain a dangerous simplification I don't like:
Quote:| Each attack of cluster headache is usually accompanied by same side eye watering and nasal drainage, eye lid drooping, pupillary change, and eye congestion/redness. |
|
The IHS criteria require that only one of the features must be present (and they dropped the stuffy nose).
That reminds me of what happened to a good friend of mine: She had an attack in the neuro's office but the doc said that couldn't be CH, as she had no runny nose nor teary eye.

I suffer from both....although I might only get migranes about 4 or 5 times a year....My migranes are vision....I lose my vision for about 45 minutes then it comes back with no pain or the other kind I get I've only had 2 times in my life and that was on the right side of my head (cluster's on my left) there was some pain but nothing like my cluster and it to me is a different kind of pain and it stayed only on my rt. it's funny when I felt that one coming on I just counted my blessings that it was on the left then I would have know what I was in for.....my cluster's......Sami

I have some kind of merging of the two, The worst of both worlds except I don't have vision problems.
