Hello everyone, My name is David, I am 42 years of age and live in North Yorkshire England.
Today after 20 years of periodic hell and being diagnosed as a sinus sufferer,and had op's to cure it to no avail. I have finally been told I have Cluster Headaches.
Even then I poo hoo'd it, I had convinced myself it was sinuitis,you can't blame me, not after all those years.
Then I looked up Clusters on the net and found you guys. I was reading my own story in so much of what I saw. I felt for everyone, I knew this was what I too had experienced. The names,Mine may be different but they mean the same,.The night attacks, everything was just as I have had it and alas, still have. I have rushed this post to you, and I am sorry for typo's or anything on which I am unclear, I will write again soon. I know little of the treatments and a lot about the symptoms. My doctor has given me two forms of medication, a nasel spray for time I get the warnings if I DO, and some tablets, I will not name them now, I don't want to step on toes, anyone can have my E mail addy if they want it to ask about this.
Thanks for being here, it's a relief of sorts not to feel so alone or half crazy.
Yours David H.
