Wrong things to say:
1."Cluster and migraine" in the same breath...Best as we kin figger round about these parts...They are 2 seperate animals...They don't pasture the same, don't run alike, don't give the same kinda "milk", they do appear in the same body part : the head...butt a "cluster" and a "migraine" are accepted to be 2 dogs that hunt on different nights. Old docs,books,farmers clump em together...click a carload of them links on the left.
2. Aura..more migraine semantics. Folks here use "shadows"..."aura" usually is connected with them lights that CH sufferers don't seem to get. Our "shadows" are a sensation not a light show.
3. 10+...Taint nothin higher than a 10 but death with our "suicide headaches"...sad...but true.
4. Yer request for a study...did I mention that you may want to check them left links?
Right place to Be:
If after knowing what you know, yer docs words and researching this site you get convinced that you have CH....you are home.
Ever felt blessed and cursed in one fell swoop?
I don't want you to get the feelin that I am raggin on you....we all have enough of that to sink a dookie.
Come on in and pull up an O2 tank.
We are the helpless...no cure...no cause...desperate pain...hangin together here. Waitin for the sunrise....while we take some delight in the harvest moon.
Plenty of shoulders to rest yer head on till the morning comes.
Let yer light shine
