Hi, I have been a long time suffer from both monsters. It started around the age of 8 with migraines and then at the age of 20 I started experienceing clusters. To be honest I'm not really sure which one is worse. They both want to make you bash your head in. It seems as though the pain will never end for it has been constant for so long now.
The other thing that is mighty painful to watch what this does to my family. The long nights at the hospital or the days in the hospital. The many days that it takes everything I have just to get up. Or to see the look of helplessness in my husbands eyes. The many times that my mom has laid down beside me and held me as tight as she could, we'd lay and cry for hours.
I am hopefully for the day when it ends, I often think about that but I can't leave my family behind. Please help me to be strong, please put me in your prayers, your all in mine.
