VD,
You're title is appropriate. I would keep this off of the board, but you don't have the couthe to leave an email address.
Sorry - But I have had seven MIGRAINES in the last two years. I have also had tension headaches in the past. I know the difference. At least I know what I am talking about!I would not answer you - except the defensive, attacking stance you are taking against the people on this board."AT LEAST YOU ONLY GET CH" deeply implies you have no business here, because you do not know what the hell you are talking about!!! You have made that much obvious. You are making light of a disease that is deeply affecting us. No, we Don't "ONLY HAVE CH" as you scream in capital letters, but some of us are suffering with depression, as well as other disorders. Some have even battled cancer and won. I am beginning to believe you are only trying to make trouble. If that is the case GET LOST!!!
I am beginning to believe you don't even have migraines. Yes, for most people, a warm towel does help to ease the front part of the head. If you had any clue, you would know that.
Again, I wouldn't even bother responding to your ignorance, except you are badgering in response to my post explaining CH, as if to someone who doesn't understand but would like to. You don't even care to understand!!! You are only trying to stir up more crap. I am sick to death of people like you. As far as remission goes, I have not seen a remission period for over two years. I deal with this daily. I deal with wanting to say F#@& it and just checking out of this miserable existence (unlike you I will show some respect and couthe and not spell it out, much less scream it out in capitals.)
What is your problem? Why do you insist to degrade our pain and make it a non-issue? Why do you come here hurling insults?
If you suffer from migraines so bad, then go to either "migrainepage.com" or "migrainehelp.com" but do me a favor and stop coming here with your vulgar display of ignorance! I believe I speak for everyone when I say, We already have enough to deal with - without having to deal with an ignorant party that is trying to belittle us and waste space on our board.
If your opinion is that CH is not that bad, then you have never had a cluster in your entire life and have no business being here. And in that case, you have no right to judge. You could never know the pain we deal with. I do know the pain of a migraine. Had them last for two days straight with no break. In that time-frame I also had CH attacks - which amplified the agony factor. But a migraine alone... I would rather live in a constant state of migraine than have one day of CH; and I am qualified to say that.
If it is your opinion that CH cannot be that bad, do us all a favor - keep your opinion to yourself, spread some Acyclovair on it, and stick it up your...
Go Away and leave us alone!
