Don’t let people silence you - “It’s not all in your head”

My cluster headache has been chronic and severe for 4 years, with 5 to 10 attacks per day without a single day of remission. Initially unilateral on the right, I became bilateral in December 2024 / January 2025. I almost committed suicide several times,

Do we need Real World Evidence cluster headache studies?

Studying Ccuster headaches gets tricky [2]. It is not a common occurrence, most of us are episodic, with sporadic attack frequency and variation, spontaneous remission that cannot specifically be attributed to medication.

How I Used MyClusters to Track My Last Cycle

For years, my attacks had been right-side predominant. Left-sided attacks were rare, and if I had them, they were around a 4-5 pain level. Now, I was getting 7-9 pain level attacks on the left.
