Hi Bob,
I've read your posts about your dad and I really hope we can help you to find him some relief. Has he tried oxygen? What meds is he on? Combined knowledge here can really help point your dad in the right direction to a treatment program for his pain.
We also have help for the families of clusterheads. It's horrific to watch someone you love go through this torture and feel powerless to help, isn't it? My husband has been a sufferer for 20mumblemumble years now and I intimately know how you feel when your dad gets hit.
We've assembled a group of supporters and sufferers to help the families - go to the OUCH button on the left here, then look for the menus above the map. In the first map on the left, you'll see a listing for Family Services. Click it. Read through our pages. There is a lot of info there that may help you. There's also a HELP button that is connected to our email address. Please visit us - we really can help you. Even if it means just having someone to talk to who understands YOUR pain.
Hang in there, kiddo - you're not alone with this anymore.
Hugs
Margi
