The Cluster Headache quiz

It turns out this quiz was made by Darren Johnson of the American clusterheadaches.com. I didn't know this when it was requested to be here by one of our members, - here in the forum.

Daren doesn't want it shared to help anyone else who doesn't go to his website, so I might have to pull it down unless Daren decides to be nice and share it!
