Welcome..and I can relate. I cried when I first came thru the enter sign here. I could not believe that there were other people that actually felt the pain I experience. That there were people that the beast woke up in the middle of the nite to do the hideous dance and make them clutch their heads and scream out in pain. God, it was wonderful to know that someone finally understood me. It hurt to see others suffer but day by day, these folks taught me that living with clusters is not the worst thing in the world..sometimes it is how you look at it. I realized there were some here that were chronic and had to deal with the pain everyday with no breaks and no meds that helped them so I had no excuses to feel sorry for myself all the time. I am day by day learning to live with these damn things and have alittle dignity about it at the same time. Whoever said there is strength in numbers must have spent some time at clusterheadaches.com Welcome to your new family, sister. smile, nancyc
