Hello Everyone.

Hello to everyone.
My name is Ellick. I am from the UK.
I have had Cluster Headaches episodes for about for about 10 years now with usually a year's remission between each one. I find it hard to remember the previous ones because I just want to forget them and I guess kid myself they don't exist. I often used to get to level 9 and ocassionally 10. When there I'd do almost anything to stop the pain. I think my episodes are usually about 6 weeks. Currently I am getting 2 attacks a day and my 4th week. I have some ideas and thoughts, dont know if they are any good but will certainly be checking them out on this site.
Cried when I read other people's accounts of the pain. It was affirmation for me because I feel that I have carried it on my own for so long. Diagnosed 2 years ago but no-one told me what Clusters were. Dont think the name really describes it for a start.
I have a sense of relief, apprehension and fear that I have finally found a place to talk about this.
My best wishes to you all.
ET. (they really are my initials). x

Hi ET...insert joke here  ...
Welcome and I'm sorry you're here. You've come to great place to gather information and get support. There's a lot of info at the OUCH UK site as well as resources. I'm rather fond of a few of the sufferers over there, too. I hope you find lots of help here (look at all the buttons on the left) and there. Pain free wishes, nani

Welcom to the family ET
As nani said read all your can on this site and the OUCH-UK board. You're certainly in the right place with people who know and understand firsthand your pain.

Thanks for the replies. I am currently trying Magnets as a drug free alternative. Not sure they are a quick fix , or anything else for that matter but I will try.
I am going to check out O2 from the advices and information on the site.
Thanks again. My best wishes to you.
