I think "ache" is a HUGE understatement.
The pain we go through is like having a chain saw
cut through our head while a little demon sits
behind our eye stabbing it with a white hot poker.
and it doesn't kill us.
I've had these clusters for about 13 or so years
now & the only thing that has worked every time
is the Imitrex injection.BUT only 3 per week is
supposed to be the max dosage.
I used to be in the Marine Corps & we had a term
that would describe a HUGE MESS & it was called,
"cluster f***".(sounds like truck) it seems to
apply now with what the huge mess in our brains is
doing.
(enlisted marines also used that term to describe
a group of officers discussing something).
