Hi Claire,
My names is Dave. I go by “drummer” because I have found that there are many, many “Dave’s” in the world. I would never want a “Dave” to get in trouble for something that I have written so I post under the name “drummer” which is an instrument that I like to play. Some people have called me an “idiot” because I have asked them to. It seems that I have done that again in the title of this post. “Damn”!
Anyway, I thought I would try to answer your question about this wonderful “support group” here at CH.com. I’m a tad bit confused though. Gary G. made it perfectly clear in his post that women DO get Cluster Headaches. I’m also confused as to why you took this particular post personally. After all Gary G. said not to waste your time “screaming” that women DON’T get CH and he went on to say that “of course they do; a lot of women do”.
As a man with a penis though, I did take your comment about “all you guys out there don’t seem to believe that I could have them”, personally. I think of myself as being one of those, “guys out there”. I am NOT one of those “guys out there” who thinks you don’t have Cluster Headaches though. I don’t know you. I’m simply a guy that is responding to your post.
“Hi, welcome to CH.com”. I believe that you have Cluster Headaches because you have just stated that you have Cluster Headaches. Please make yourself at home and enjoy the wonderful different things that you can “click” on with your computer mouse button. Please post on the message board too. I do. I have Cluster Headaches just like you.
I don’t believe that women have a higher threshold for pain than men and/or the other way around. I also don’t believe that women bitch more than men and/or the other way around either. I hope I have helped answer your question. Take Care.
