Dear Lizzie,
I don't have much to go on about who your guy is, But one of the Biggest hassles for him is the potenial for loss of income due to the severity of the pain , sleep depravation, deppresion ( hard to work with 3 headaches a night 7 days a week for months on end. Not to mention once your body has established a pattern of cycles, knowing the terror that may at anytime take over your life for the next 3 to 6 months for no apperant reason If your not well off money wise i suggest you start thinking about Doctor bills and Medcation costs Cause it gets expensive to treat a Orphan Illness such as ours ( I am Probally wrong and I am sure somebody will point it out but I think we ( Clusterheads) avarage about 6% of the Entire world population, not a very high priorty maladay. But youv'e heard this one before " When life hands you lemons you make lemonaid. There is alot of Info here and everybodys more than willing to help. The Good thing is he knows, I was like 33 or 34 before anybody would write the words Clusterheadaces & Intractable pain. and it is sad seeing as one of todays topics is UNDEREDUCATED DOCTORS.
Thanks for your time, and I hope your guy does not end up a Chronic sufferer and his attacks are few and far between!
