Hi all,
I'm new to all this but migraines and clusters are not the same! I've been a migraine'r at 16 till 25 years and then it turn to cluster headaches. Lived with CH now for 15 years. Please don't get me wrong but I do not understand the two...?. Meds are not the same and the pain is not the same...as in with a CH you pray for God to kill you (run with or dance with the demon and bang your head on anything solid), YOU WILL GET NO SLEEP... ....BE CAUSE IN TWO HOURS IF YOU GET ANY SLEEP ,YOU WILL GO THROUGH THE PAIN AGAIN. With me when I had migraines I prayed for sleep or got to sleep, With CH, I do not want to sleep or afraid of sleep because it will bring on a CH. Also the pain ......THE PAIN I GO THROUGH IS DIFFERENT! Please do not get mad at me, but I feel the diffference between a migraine and a CH. A MIGRAINE IS NOT A CH.....SUZY
