spent hiring expert witnesses in my lawsuit to distingish the differences between a trauma (caused by my accident) headache as opposed to my history of cluster headaches, since my accident (my head smashed both the speedometer and tachometer to bits on my motorcycle) I have heard this term thousands of times, even from a friend in Washington state and more recently down south where a truck driver had his head smashed, his major claim is severe trauma headaches and is suing for several million, surprised that term didn't spring up in your group, admittedly, I never heard the term before my accident and wished I never have, they are devasting headaches, I am left with a twitch on my right hand side, but Botox injections are helping that, yep, been through the cat and nuclear scans, and a number of MRI's and that they call soft tissue damage, I was getting ten or more a day at the start, but now only when I strain myself, left with torn ligaments in my neck, shoulder and back they say cannot be surgically corrected, five years of phsyical therapy helped a lot.
