I've experienced this too as has many in our group. I even had a NEUROLOGIST tell me "stop and smell the roses" and that it was nothing but stress. You point out actual books,articles on the subject and they just pretend it's not true and and they and they alone are right.....that's when it's time to get a new doctor. When I've gone to the hospital for a out of control cluster,just looking at me they know I'm in serious pain and trouble. What can amaze me is I've had doctor's read the hospital report during follow up visits and,get this,the DOCTOR tells ME the pain can't be that bad.
The key is finding good doctors that understand what clusters are. I wish you good luck!!!
