Hi Scott,
I suffer chronic clusters...and what I can say about the quality of life is......well it varies from day to day, minute to minute! Bless your heart that you love your Dad enough to even have found this site! I'm 33 yrs. old and and raising 2 teen age boys, I'm not able to work (for 4 yrs recieved SSI benefits) and try real hard to accept this life that I've been given!! It's HARD!! For me, massaging the OPPOSITE side of my pain(which is always on the left side) gives me seconds of relief while in an attack, without that second of relief, I would surely go insane! I've heard oxygen is a great abortive method! I was just turned down by my insurance yesterday for it!:( I Enjoy life, every pain free minute I have because I know the next minute the Beast might rear it's ugly head! Strangely enough, CH's have taught me how to really get the most out of life! Now personally, I would have rather learned that lesson ANY other way!LOL! But this is the deal...I wish you and your Father pain free days and peace!
