Cluster HeadacheAwareness day
Every year, around the world, 21 March is the “Cluster Headache Awareness Day“, a day when cluster headache patient organisations raise awareness of their disease.
The Cluster Headache : the most severe of all headaches!
Cluster headache is probably the worst pain that humans experience.
If you ask a cluster headache patient if they have had a worse experience, they will universally say they have not!
Women with cluster headache will tell you that an attack is worse than giving birth.
Therefore, you can imagine that these people give birth without anaesthesia one to eight times a day… sometimes more…It’s just horrible …
