One of the goals of this site is to obtain disabilty for Cluster Headaches sufferrers,specifically those who are chronic Sufferers or anyone with financial troubles to
obtain some type of assisstance; there are ways to attempt to get assistance for the high cost of meds when for those who qualify. I am sorry to inform you of this but,I cannot say for certain that All insurance policies would not assist with clusters. I assume you are familiar with CH's and have seen a neurologist who has accuratetly diagnosed with Clusters. If not, you MUST see one. Read all the medical and pertainant information on the left side of the home page and the postings. Correct diag nosis is a must. I will not say that you are a CHer ; There are variants of CH. Send us with more info on your condition and symptoms, but Read much of this site and read the message board. You can get A basis for your symptoms and presnt it to your neurogist or doctor who has knowledge of Ch's and treatments. But you will find an abundance of info on ch.com. Use the search engine; there are ways to obtain meds at low cost. I think I have a posting in the past on obtaining free meds or Assistace.If you cannot find this posting, Email me at dchal@negia.net.
Vist often if you are hurting or feel the need express your feelings when THEY drag you down
