Dear sir,
I understand and sympathize with you. My husband also suffers from cluster headaches. They will wake him up at the same time every night and every morning, even during the day at work, the pain is so intense he can barley function. He has been passed around from one er to the next with no real help. Unfortunatley we do not have insurance so it is impossible to get help. He is a strong hardwroking man who is being broken down by this invisible monster. I can't describe the horror and pain of watching someone you love go through this. It's like watching a terminally ill patient go through the phases of the disease and not die, but recover fully for a week or 2 then start all over and over again. There isn't enough awareness for people who suffer from this disease. These headaches were once named "suicide headaches" and I fully understand why. I would give all the money in the word for him to have some relief from this.
