...for boneheads like me, exactly what you are proposing. Other than the emotional appeal of "Can't we all just get along?" are you proposing:
1. That OUCH open its doors to join forces with migraineurs and work for the common good?
2. That since there are many more migraineurs, and they already have the ear of the medical community, that we should identify ourselves with them?
3. Migraines and clusters can be lumped together for the greater good?
No doubt, this post will be seen by many as an unwarranted attack on someone of good will who is just trying to get everyone together in a concerted effort for a common cure. Well, then, fire away. IMHO, I see no good coming from such a merger. IMHO, the confusion of the medical world about migraines and clusters has been our biggest hurdle. In the words of Yogi Berra: Include me out!
