Steve,
I am sooo sorry that your family is that way.
GET THEM TO READ THESE MESSAGES left by the other's in your shoes.
THEY NEED TO BE EDUCATED !!!!!
They can't understand because they are still thinking of it as a "headache" which by the name Cluster Headache enables compassion to be doomed from the beginning.
They need to see that this is more than a headache, it's an painful attack of unfathomable proportions....
I want you to know that WE (the knowledgable) care and support you. NEVER think your without compassion, because even though I don't know you, my heart broke when you shared your families view on your pain. My father suffers, and I know he would feel terrible if Mom and we children treated him that way.
Please stay connected to this site, we care!
Mia.
