I carry in my purse a list of medications that I am
presently consuming. I say consuming because the
list of pills goes on and on. I'm being treated
for cluster headaches and severe complicated migraines.
What a combination! And yes I'm chronic. So, my
doctor has told me that I need to keep a record of
the meds I take in my home and in my purse. So many
of the medications we take can not be combined with
other life saving drugs that the combinations may
cause cardiac arrest. I truly can appreciate the
pain that you feel. It amazes me that so many of
us suffer and a cure for this "disease" does not
exist as of yet. By the way, is this considered
a disease or an inconvience. I never heard it
suggested as anything other than a really severe
headache. Personally, I think they as in the masses
have over used and abused the term "migraine" and
"cluster headache". This is far more incompassing
than a mere headache. You will be in my thoughts.
