10 reasons I am glad I have CH

10. It's not contageous, so people don't move away from you when you say you have CH.
9. When you tell someone you get headaches, they are so quick and willing to give you the most bizarre home remedies you could ever think of. Some MIGHT actually work, but are probably illegal.
8. My clusters only strike at night when I am not doing anything important anyway, just sleeping.
7. CH are a good reason to quit drinking and smoking. It gets tiring when people are always reminding you of lung cancer and liver disease. CH gives a whole new slant to the lectures.
6. During a CH, the dance I do burns off a lot of unwanted calories. Otherwise I might just sleep and get bigger. I now have the body I have always wanted thanks to all the midnight bed-dancing.
5. Clusters only hit one side of my head, so really it's only like having half a headache which is better than a whole headache.
4. It's good to know that all the nerve endings on the one side of my face are all working like they should. I am not so sure about the other side of my face, though.
3. It's a great reason to wake up in the middle of the night and get some house work done (however, I must note that is it not a good time to do cheque book balancing).
2. When I say "not tonight, I have a headache", it carries a lot more weight.
...and the number 1 reason I am glad I have CH...
...It feels SOOOO damn good when it stops.

Actually, "pissed" in Canada means drunk. Do you have another word for "facetious" in England? What am I saying? The English invented the word!

I like your attitude peacestock, your bottle is half full!
"Pissed" here means either drunk or annoyed (short for pissed off) depending on context
facetious is something Yorkies do for a living. People from Yorkshire usually have a very dour/dry sense of humour (  Yorky)

Don't you mean CH is a good reason not to quit smoking? You do know that nicotine is a vascular constrictor Right?
Everything else fits me but #2

LOL!!!! I love the list peacestock! Your positive attitude is a welcomed gift.
I would also like to add that, as a man, I have a slight clue of what it must feel like to give birth to a 20 pound baby and survive.

You Canadians are hardy stock. But that is exactly the way to look at it. Not easy, but I was always a sucker for gallows humor.
