I get both too. I'm sorry you've been sick this last week. I"ve been sick this last week too, and I still am. I know how your thinking can get muddled from being in pain, being tired and sick all at the same time. Let me try to clear things up for you, because if these rational well thought out posts haven't reached you yet, maybe my fever induced back asswards thinking one can.
People here are talking about one thing only. They are saying this is a CH> board. It's not a migraine board. Here we talk about cluster headaches because to do othewise would be non-productive, confusing and silly(since it's a CH. board and all) We have a mission, and that's to join together, as the small group of the population that we are and find a cure! It's going to take focus and hard work. We have to do it for each other and for the children out there who may be in our shoes later.
We are not asking people who get migraines and clusters to leave this board. If that's true, then i'll have to leave too. Even though it would make three people out there happy, no one has sent me the memo about it yet.
Not only that, we want you to stay. You have info you can help others with, and I think we can help you when you need it.
When you read this post to yourself, imagine a girl with a voice of say, 10 years old, sweetly telling you all of this. God didn't think it was funny enough to give me clusters, he had to add this freakin voice of mine along with the package. I'm scarcastic, and i joke around, but underneath it all I do care. I care about you too. So lighten up, grab an oar and let's start rowing together here.
Most of all, I hope you get to feeling better.
