Hopeful...

As far back in time as I can remember I have had bad allergies and bad headaches. I equate the two with some of the lowest points of my own health. I get these attacks that completely such the life out of me. I have always thought they were just what they were and that everyone who had allergies had this type of response. The problem is that my "allergies" have progressively gotten worse. I am now to the point where I am officially worried about myself. I have been doing a bit of research about what I experience and realize that what I am having may not actually be allergies but something else. I may be having what is called "cluster headaches". The description of this type of disorder fits what I experience to a tee. I can only hope that I am onto something and not just playing doctor with the internet. I would love to have hope that there is something out there that can help me when I have these episodes. I am someone who never goes to the doctor and does not like the focus on me. I am very hesitant to seek medical attention but this is a big deal to me and I am hopeful that maybe just maybe I have found a bit of a clue as to what is going on.
