We've been here before, but there is a big difference,
as all those of us who have suffered with both can
testify.
I can sleep through a migraine (in fact it's the best
way to get rid of it); I throw up with a migraine -
also a cure for the attack. My vision is affected.
I need the dark. Very different from a cluster attack.
There's also no comparison in the pain, ch wins anytime.
That said, my sister has migraine, which no drugs yet
can touch, and can be flattened for days on end.
I do know, however, that I never thought about killing
myself when suffering from a migraine!
