I might have been one of the first "non-clusterheads" that posted here and, trust me, gang I had to prove myself here too. I had to make room for myself as a supporter of a clusterhead and it did take a while. It never even crossed my mind that I was here to talk about the migraines that I have personally had. That's NOT what this site is for. If I had wanted to talk about my migraines, I would have typed "migraines" in the search engine. As a migrainer, I know initimately how different migraines and clusters are, because my husband has clusterheadaches. What he goes through is TOTALLY different that what I have gone through with migraines. Totally different animal. To me, talking about migraines here would have been like going to the dentist and asking him to take a look at my sprained ankle. Why would I do that?
We are specialists here. We are specialists in clusterheadache pain. The pain it causes the sufferers and the different pain it causes the supporters. That's it. That's all. Why is this such a difficult concept? I just don't get it.
