I'm at work in the morning but Donna had mentioned a while ago that CTV wanted to speak to a Canadian Ch'er but then we didn't hear anything further.
Nice catch Chris.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

CTV.ca News Staff
Cluster headaches are one of the most painful and hard to treat kinds of headache. They're fairly rare, but those who suffer from them experience debilitating headaches every day for months. Medical expert Dr. Marla Shapiro has more information.
A study published in Tuesday's issue of Neurology shows that a new nasal spray helps treat cluster headaches
Cluster headaches are considered the most painful kind of headache and there are very few treatment options available for this kind of headache.
The drug is Zolmitriptan.
The study found that people taking a higher dose of this nasal spray reported headache relief within 30 minutes
Some patients found relief in as quickly as 10 minutes.
Cluster Headaches: Symptoms
Quick onset
Extreme pain

Well...ya gotta say that somewhere, someone might actually "get it" that this horror isn't a fluke or migraines.
As Jonny says: it tells us very little but then people here are "special"  
Thanks for the post Chris.

I sure am glad. 
As far as I know, besides health magazines and one short piece on on public service broadcaster TV channel (which I missed and won't be able to see it) that tiny bit is more info than ch has got in here - ever.
When one Finnish soap star revealed that she has ch, that was a four-line story in one trash magazine and and its content was filled with mistakes.  I would have sent them piece of my mind, but I know what kind of journalists work there - the kind who don't give a crap.
