Alex Brocklehurst & Cluster Headaches

Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome back to That’s So Chronic. We’re back with our regular Tuesday interviews and today’s interview I think you’re gonna love. I got to sit down with Alex Brocklehurst (she even made us a platter of goodies!) to chat about her diagnosis of cluster headaches - known to be one of the most painful types of headaches a person can endure. In this episode Alex talks us through her diagnosis, she explains how the cluster headaches feel for her, how her medication works, and leaves us with an important message. Content warning: there is a brief mention of suicide in this episode, and there is a trigger warning from Alex before that moment in the episode.
