ok-so I'm hearing that there are others out there that have had longer than the average 3 hour cluster that the dr.s keep telling us defines Ch. I can accept that. I'm open minded to a point. My question is where does open-mindedness end and common sense start? Maybe there isn't a point and we have to blindly accept that 4 day and night clusters exist? Could be. That leads to another question. What happens when someone who suffers from severe sinus headaches, or migraines that last for say 4 days and nights comes on, reads this account and then says "EUREKA!! I've found my diagnosis!" "I have pain that long, it's the worst pain I've ever felt in my life(maybe for them it is) Then this poor soul is sent in the wrong direction, looking for the wrong medication and the wrong doctors. It takes them that much longer in their search for relief.
I don't know. I would hate for that to happen, but what control do I have over the universe? If I did none of would be here at all. I want Nick to find his answers and the end to his pain.
