It's a myth. I am not sure how it got started, but clearly not true.

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.

I'm a woman with clusters also. Go figure ...
I tend to think that more women than men get blown off by docs who say we have migraines or tension HA's rather than clusters.
You'll meet many female sufferers here. BTW - we're a great group of gals!
Hugs,
Kris

CrystalAnn,
Warm welcome!
Don't believe that some say - women do get ch!
According to the neuro who diagnosed me, men get ch more often than women. And Kris is right, many women get a wrong diagnosis when some docs belive in the myth as well.
You've got bunch of great clustersisters right here.
Best wishes & PFdays,
Sanna

It's an old myth that women don't get clusters. We're in the minority (about 25% I think), but trust me -- what I have is definitely CH.
Don't let a doc disc on you about that one.

Hello and welcome.
It is true it's a myth. There are so many characteristics that have been labeled on cluster sufferers, you think people would be working more on relief for the patients. I even read where cluster headache victim's skin "resembles that of an orange peel"
W T F?????
Anyways, I've never met you but since you are cursed with the CH demon, I know (as well as the rest of the female sufferers) you are one of the strongest women out there!!!!
Pain free wishes....

Has anyone ever seen someone with orange peel skin?
I have acne and after a sweating spell, my pores are big, but even then my skin doesn't look like orange peel.
