another new guy

What a great site. I went 2 years without any cluster headaches and foolishly was hoping they disappeared. I found this site last night after my "first of many to come this month" headache went away. It is funny how quickly the pain stops procrastination. Yes after 15 years I still am in search of a pain reliever. I spent many years going to family doctors and buying tons of worthless medicines, I finally said the hell with it. I put up with the cluster headaches until it's time to put a gun to my head or go to the ER. As you can see I have not used the gun yet. HaHa
I haven't known anybody other than myself that truly had cluster headaches. This is refreshing to have a place to go and talk about this. I believe I will learn alot from this site and the people in it. Thanks for being here.

You will not only learn everything you ever wanted to know about Clusters but you will also learn MORE than you ever wanted to know about the people here. 
Actually, the poeple are ok but can be a bit twisted from time to time (coping mechanism).
Welcome to the board.

Welcome aboard, Frogman!
If you have read other posts, you already know the advice that will be given over and over agian: read, read and read some more. This site and the yellow button on the left for OUCH have a lot of information. You will find the most extensive collection of knowlege about cluster headache than in any other place.
Know that there is always someone here if you need to ask a question, scream, cry, vent, or what ever it is you need. We are here, "brother", and welcome to the family.
Now, we are all in this same boat. This boat does not move by itself, therefore, grab and oar, your seat is over there on the left side, and start rowing. Cootie is the whip mistress here, so make sure you put your all into rowing!!! heehee ..
Welcome to the nuthouse!

Hi and welcome aboard. We've all been there and it's nice to know that you don't have to "explain" this horror to someone with no idea. We all know exactly what you're talking about.
I hope you look around because there are some good ideas about dealing with this horror.
Here are two links: One for a technique I found effective and a second link to a description of this disease which does a wonderful job explaining to employers and others that this has nothing to with what is thought of as a “headache.”

Good luck and I hope you stick around.

Welcome to the nut .. ahh .. loony .. err .. Cluster house Froman! Sorry you had to hunt us up .. but hope it wasnt hard to find us 
As you can see above, most of us think the same way ... READ, READ, READ and then READ some more. You cant find a better place to be for information, a shoulder to cry on, or a place to vent, kick or scream.
Wishing you PFDaN's,
~April~
