Anatomy of a Cluster Headache
Cluster headaches are the most painful headache possible. The pain has been described as "boring", "tearing", or "burning." Analogies also are used, such as "a hot poker in the eye", or as if "the eye is being pushed out." Anyone who has ever had them, has no doubt what they are.

Addiction versus Dependence: A Call for Public Education.
Pain creates a devastating situation for sufferers and those around them. Pain, especially chronic pain, is a debilitating, very dehumanizing condition. Albert Schweitzer said, "Pain is a more terrible lord than death itself." Unfortunately, the misinformation about narcotics that rules the U.S. is causing more and more people to be left in pain.
