One liners for CH

How have we been treated?
What are the most common one liners that people claim about our CH?
- Come on It is just a headache.
- It is all in your head, you are making it up. You just want attention. Faker.
- You are a low life drug seeker.
- Nothing could be that bad.
- Just go lie down and sleep it off
I have an idea for the PSA.. I need 6 or 7 REALLY good one liners... and then a compassionate statement about CH... I am working on it, but I need your input..
Thanks,

Why are you coming at me with the cleaver?
Let me out of the cellar.

A rather odd gaze, followed by a somewhat stammered "Oh, my friend gets bad Migraines", followed by summmore odd-alienating type stares...............

It's just your hormones.
It is part of menstration.
Women don't get cluster headaches.
You just want to get out of work.
You just don't want to cook dinner.
You have a sinus headache. Take some Claritan.
I realize your head hurts, but what do you want me to do for you?
You're having a what?? A headache?? Have a seat.....next......
You have a headache? Where does it hurt?
If you have never experienced the pain of a cluster headache, you are not qualified to judge, imagine or assume what it must feel like.

If you just don't think about it, i'm sure it will go away.
If I drink a bunch of beers, I usually get a headache too.
Yeah, I know. Migraines are pretty bad.
You probably just didn't eat enough. Go get some food.
Nobody gets 3-5 headaches a day.

I better put in my 
"Take an aspirin"
"It's just allergies"
"Have you tried Vitamin C, it cures everything"
"Take a Valium and relax"
"Percocet has to help, it is a pain killer"
"Drink some herbal tea"
"What have you eaten to cause this"
"Are you sure it is not a hangover"
Oh and my favorite is "The CT scan didn't show anything, so you can't have that much pain"

My all time favorite:
"Cluster Headaches? I had one of those once. It was terrible, I had to go lie down..."
Second runner up:
"Have you tried that new Excedrin Migraine?"

To date, the best one that I heard someone say to me was:
"..Yeah..my wife used to get those things..man,what a bitch she'd turn into......it turned out she's allergic to tomatoes. You should try not eating tomatoes..."
...Mark.

Ouch! Similar but unrelated to CH comment:
My mother asked her mom (my grandmother) how she looked in a new dress she had just bought for my wedding. My grandmother's reply was: "You look like 8 pounds of flour in a 5 pound sack.

Geez. It always makes me wonder why people feel they have the liberty to say such hurtful things. Because "I love you..."
Yea, love this....Bleah.

You keep drinking all that beer it's going to kill you.That was from my boss at work.I go for up to 5 months without even so much as washing my mouth out with Listerene because of the alcohol. and the 1 from the nurse at old nero's office...yea I know,I had a cluster once...told her she don't know shit about clusters in the office...got told to leave.got a new nero after that 1.

“I’m sure, you are depressed or stressed.”
“I don't think you have CH because you are a woman.”
“Don’t worry, it probably isn't CH, it's so rare.”
“You must not take drugs, they can provoke headache.”
“Take an aspirin and it will pass.”
"Where does it hurt?"
“Oooooh Zaira, sometimes seasonal allergies can cause occasional headaches.”
“Tell me Zaira: are you taking cocaine?”
“What kind of drugs are you using?”
“Are you having the pain now? You look very nice today.”
“Zaira, it is just a headache!”

From a therapist;
"Pain is just a concept. You should embrace the pain as being part of you, use the pain to grow" (or something like that)
Respose: "Embrace this corkscrew in your eyeball ya freakin whack job".
I knew I was screwed the minute I entered the office. 300lb therapist wearing some kinda Shamu smock and a flower in her long braided hair. If that didn't give me a clue the framed photo of Yoko Ono was a cinch.

Just a couple:
"Drink some beer man, that'll kill it"
Then I say no it wont.
"How about some whiskey then."
OR
"Awwww you should go see a specialest, my friend used to have those and they went to a specialest in Iowa City"
OR
What? you can't come down and drink a few because you have a headache, I get headaches to but that doesn't stop me.
WOW! just typing this kinda pisses me off a little, People haven't a fucking clue

Use the pain to grow?
Does that therapist understand that with this pain, that I will grow into being a spawn of Satan? Use the pain to grow, my ass.

I think a lot of the women have the same idea.
"Cluster Headaches are extremely rare and you are a woman, there is no way in the world that you could possibly have them."
"Well we have some Aleve in the Kitchen, maybe you should take that. It took care of my headaches in a jiff." That was at work. Right be fore I got the "Well WHEN you are here and WHEN you are focused , you do a great job." speech. I wanted to smack her in the head.
"Well maybe if you got more sleep?" Between the headaches and my 1 year old just not quite sure how to do that?
"I've had those a couple of times.... You know maybe you should watch what you eat?"
