Greetings all.

I've been reading here since January and have been impressed by the amount of solid information folks share. I have some questions to ask and with what I see, guess I'd best be officially joining and talking with folks before I ask anything other than the basic stuff about drugs and the like.

I've had headaches since I was a kid. Not often when I was a kid but one would keep me down for most of the day. When they started happening more often I saw the doctor and he said migraines. About 10 years later I started getting cluster headaches.

It's hard having two demons to handle but I manage, barely.

Thanks for having a place to find help.


Walter

Anatomy of a Migraine
When many people think “Migraine,” they think only of the pain of Migraine. In reality, a Migraine (often called a "Migraine attack") consists of far more.

Hi Walter,

Welcome to MyMigraineConnection. Glad you found us, and even better to see you posting. We hope to see more from you. Yes

What a complete and horrible thing, cluster and Migraine. As if one weren't bad enough. Clusters are tough.....I don't have them, thank goodness, but have seen one on Ytube. Have you seen this? Teri did a SharePost on it. Truly remarkable:Cluster Headaches, Oxygen, and Bureaucratic Stupidity


You may find this information useful, if you don't know it already!
