I have had migraine headaches since I was 5 years old.  I didn't know what my pain was at the time, but when I was 13 the pain was worse and progressed from very occasional to very nearly daily.  I saw a neurologist, had all of the prop testing done and was diagnosed with cluster headaches.  Over the years I have been to other neugologists and a headache specialist, with no luck.  I am a mom of two children and I have a wonderful supportive husband.  The pain in itself is terrible, but the pain in my family's eyes is worse.  I am writing a book about my experience as a migraine sufferer.  I think it is important to get our stories known so that more can be done to research this aweful condition.  Please share your stories.  The consolation in all of this is knowing that we aren't alone.  Thank you for reading my story.
