I don't see how anyone would be upset with someone who is getting disability for having clusters on a cluster support message board? I'd think everyone would be happy for that person. You do have the right to give your opinion just like everyone else, it just surprises me!!
We never know when "we might have to walk" in their shoes? And to have this already in place could be a big help for us all. Most people wanting/needing disability go thru hell to get it and is turned down many times.
It might help get the word out how debilitating clusters are and give more respect for "cluster headaches"...that they "aren't" just a headache!!
Anyone who can keep a job during a cluster cycle is "darn lucky"! It's not about how strong or weak a person is...just lucky!
I personality don't see how anyone can work thru a cluster, I really don't, just my opinion. My mind and body just goes to hell, but maybe I'm just weak?
