I am sad for you you had to find us, but be welcome.
An MRI will (hopefully) be useful in a negative way. It will (hopefully) show that there is nothing the matter in your brain, no growths, no bleedings etc.
It would be a shame to treat you for cluster headaches when you had something different the matter with you.
That might be worth a lot.
Please check out all the medical info under the buttons to the left, print it out and take it with you to the doc.
And... don't think you're a wimp for seeing a doctor about this. There are a lot of very manly guys here (as well as gutsy women) with the same complaint. Read their posts.
