Title: Some days it just doesn't pay to get up...
Post by peteyg on Feb 2^nd, 2004, 7:08pm

Ha. So, I've been cycling down (thank god). I had a pretty bad one night before last, but nothing but shadows for three days before that.

I KNOW I won't get one today. The reason?

'Cause I got a friggen MIGRAINE today. Some days I just feel like I can't win...LOL :-/

Ah well. I'm happy it's winding down. This one only lasted 6 weeks. Not too bad. :)

Is it common to have both clusters and migraines?

From what I've read, it's not uncommon for cluster sufferers to also suffer from migraines, but it is very rare for them to happen at the same time.

I've had clusters since I was in my mid 20's. I've been getting migraines since I was around 12.

Thats what I figured, I've had both.

Man - I feel for ya!

I get migraines - my husband gets clusters. It's a fun house to live in. I cannot imagine getting BOTH.

someone said something like the migraines trigger the cluster or the cluster triggers the migraine - if you have both - and i cannot remember which is which - but its been said before.

i'm not helping here. [smiley=bag.gif]

Probably me, Woobie. The clusters trigger migraines for me, and I know that they do for other people too. The luck! grrrr....

Hang in there!!! You aren't alone..just keep on getting up in the morning, even when it doesn't seem worth it. Some days the only thing I do is make my bed and get a shower. Even this one small accomplishment can make me feel a little better. Take care!!
