Someone I hadnt talked to in awhile came by and was asking about my last absence from work.
"How's your migraines?, all gone?"
I have calmly tried to explain to this person before, I do not have migraines, well, i do from time to time, but they are a walk in the park compared to these clusters. This is brain pain.
This is unbelievable agony. This is beyond words, Im in remission right now, but my cycle of 6 week activity will be back, and no meds work at all for me,....I am in the middle of saying all this and now this co-worker is looking beyond me talking to someone else about some trivial, idiotic thing.THATS why we are angry. that is what we put up with, that is what makes you feel so isolated and alone with this STUPID affliction.
