Title: I hate migraines.
Post by MPMIII on Sep 22^nd, 2007, 6:50am

While having dinner last night with some relatives, I was asked how my headaches were. The word headache seems so trivial, considering what cluster does to me. Anyway, my aunt proceded to tell me that she to had suffered from migraines, and had them for three years non stop. She said that she knew what I was going through and that she had heard of of nasal spray that would work( she was refering to trex spray). I proceded to tell her that there if a grave difference between migraines and clusters, but could not get the point through. I explained that there is no way that she had clusters for three years straight(she mentioned going to sleep and waking up with it). I explained that there was no possible way to have a cluster for three years and my proof was the fact that we were talking. I am quite certain I would off myself if the beast even managed to make it past 5 hours. Regardless, I am sick and tired of people telling me that they relate because they have migraines. . It has gotten to the point that I do not even mention my clusters because there is no way to accurately describe them. The only people I know who understand these, are my wife(only because she has to live with me) and those of you on the board. Does anyone have a link that explains the difference between migraine/cluster? I would like to forward it, actually I would like to print copies and hand one out to everyone who seems to think that they know what hell I live through. Thanks.

Regards,

Malcom
