Title: It's NOT a Cluster Headache
Post by barbee on Jan 17^th, 2003, 7:22pm

How can it be a "Cluster Headache" when you are chronic, and have been for years? There must be some more descriptive name for this Beast. How about "Hot Knife in the Head". Or Cranium Cronflagration. Temple Tantrum? :'( :'(

Barbee, when I have to explain to others, I just look down my nose and say, Oh, it's just a neurological condition, very rare, and it's hell really...`'

And then they don't dare ignore my description, and suffer along in spirit, just for a few minutes, but it is something!

It should be something like "the hell that one goes through everyday ruining their life by eating away at their soul and chipping away at their brain."

“Exploding Eye Headache” seems to catch their attention, too.
