The pain of cluster headache is excruciating and can drive sufferers to despair. Sadly, it has driven some to end their lives, hence the nickname "suicide headache". It destroys relationships, causes sufferers to lose their jobs, and sometimes their homes.
Cluster headache (CH) is one of a group of headaches known as trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It is a primary headache (a headache in its own right, not caused by or a symptom of another illness) that causes severe, debilitating pain. It is generally considered to be the most painful medical condition known to mankind and most female sufferers describe the pain as being worse than childbirth.
OUCH (UK) invites sufferers to come along and meet others who understand and to show them that they are not alone. It's the perfect chance to mix with the top experts and learn more about the condition and the current treatments available.
The chance to meet other sufferers who share their pain can be of enormous help to those who feel isolated.
