...I must apologize for inadvertantly stepping on your tender toes. In defense, it was not my intention to claim any elitest stature in being a victim of CH. Nor would I be proud of having heart disease or cancer, ricketts, or even hemorrhoids. Still, I hold to the belief that if you have migraines, you might think you have clusters, but if you have clusters, you know they are not migraines. Since you have both, you obviously know the difference. You are, however, the first I have heard say that you couldn't choose one over the other. I'm sorry that you have to endure such torture; I can't even imagine what that must be like. I don't think that CH sufferers are proud of their malady. They simply don't want CH to be confused with other diseases. Many of us, probably you also, have been diagnosed and treated for migraines, sinus infection, tooth aches, tension and even psychoses. I am fortunate that I haven't had a Kip-10 for about six years. I truly believe that I could not go through one again. Of course, all of the above is just my opinion, so I won't proclaim that any other view is bullshit.
