All we want is to get folks to read the buttons at the left, BEFORE they post here. There are lots of ways to determine if what they're experiencing is clusterheadaches just by doing that....READ THE FIRST PAGE, taking the cluster quiz, READ THE NEW VISITORS PAGE, reading the cluster traits, etc., etc. In other words, do some homework and research before they post and join a discussion that probably won't help them find relief.
If they still can't determine what their problem is, they should consult a doc - which they should be doing in the first place. The research that has been done for the buttons at the left is very thorough, and for a true clusterhead, the result will be obvious. Cluster headaches are NOT a grey area. They are very black and white. You either are, or you're not a clusterhead.
I still don't understand why this is such a problem for people to understand.
Actually, I continue to be impressed that folks who land here ARE re-directed in a perfectly acceptable way. "Ooops, sorry, wrong door. This is a specialized group here. Maybe you should try going here:" and then an alternate link is provided. What the hell is wrong with that? I don't understand the furor that has happened over this simple request to keep clusterheadaches.com focussed on its main purpose. Look how much time is wasted talking about migraines here, today alone! This is NOT why we are here!
