I have also become more sensitive to others pain. As soon as we say "Well if you think thats bad you should feel a cluster You have no idea of what pain is" we lose any hope of someone else giving a hoot. If some has pain , any pan that is worse then they have previously had and it affects their life it still hurts. My wife oftn says "I hate to be a wimp when I just have a snus headache after seeing your attacks" I always reply "Tha not the way it is anything that hurts enough to cause life to be less enjoyable is the same. I suffer migraines also and even they don't compare in any degree as far as pain level It is sometimes worse to have a 7+ day of nonstop heavy migraine then 3 hours of cluster. Duringa cluster I just go to survival and pass time quickly mode. With migraine you just can't do what you want. Less pain perhaps no less suffering. MikeL
