A few weeks ago, Ted posted about a health show on the radio, in which the doctor said CH weren't as severe as migrains. I wrote the producer of the show, requesting that the doctor do some reading about CH and that he definately respond with urgency if he should receive a CH patient. This is the response from the producer of the show.
I think some technical data re: CH and perhaps some personal testimonies from sufferers would help her put her CH show together. Please write to her, especially if you suffer both migraine and CH and can compare the two for her and the good doc.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for contacting us here at, The Health Show. The Dr. you
refer to is Dr. Warren Katz...a pain specialist from Pennsylvania. I checked
with Dr. Katz who tells me clinical data points to migrains being worse.
However the Dr. quickly followed up by pointing out that pain is a very
subjective and personal thing. On a scale of one to ten, one persons 5
might be another persons 9...a fact he did point out in the
pain management series. I'd like to do a feature program on cluster
headaches...so if there is any information you would like to share you can
e.mail it to thehealthshow@wamc.org.
Thanks again for writing, and FYI, the program is available on the
internet at WAMC.org.
Sincerely,
Mary Darcy
Producer,
