I'm confused Tim, are you the sufferer or is it your wife/girlfriend?
Welcome either way, lets see what we can do to help

This will definitiely help. There is such a sense of being alone before you find this place. At least the folks here understand.

I'm so glad I found this place, these crazy folks are great!
If it wasn't for them and just knowing others felt this type of pain I would have quite a few more holes in my drywall!
Listen to what the folks say, they are a plethera of information.
Did I use plethera correctly?

Tim,

Hi and welcome. It sounds like your wife/significant other might be the sufferer?

Encourage her to come here. There's no better place for support and help. There's a wealth of information on this site, in addition to the support of people who totally understand the suffering of clusters.

Meanwhile, maybe you can share what you learn with her. Here's a link to some of the latest treatments and meds for clusters:

Many Hugs and Good Vibes,

Kris

Tim you sound like you really want to help her so please tell us something about how often she gets hit, what meds she IS taking if anything, etc.

Even though we are not Doctors here, together as a group we have hundreds of years of experience with this subject. More than most Dr.s if I may be so bold as to say that.

You have come to the right place to help her, so if she won't read all the links on the left and ask questions, then you'll have to do that for her. I admire you for your effort. Some of us have no support except here.

Linda
