Chronic cluster headache sufferer here. To sum up, I’ve been: Shot, stabbed, shot a second time, broke 7 bones in various appendages, hit with a baseball bat, hit by a car, multiple teeth issues, and migraine headaches, sprinkled for fun.

Basically, I took steve-o’s motto and ran with it (your body is a ride, ride it until the wheels fall off).

None of this comes close to the lightest cluster headache I’ve had. The sheer panic, the knowledge of what’s about to happen, the inescapable amount of pain I know is coming… Fuck CH.

I'm an episodic CH sufferer. No other pain comes close in comparison. You're not alone, brother (if I can make that gender assumption given your user name).

Stay strong, brother.
