Hi Bob:
I too have found that taking literature to my GP helps. I agree with you, she is not a Cluster Specialist and she can't know everything there is to know abou them. When I asked her for the oxygen use in my home, I took the article that came out in our paper. I was willing to pay for it out of my pocket, however, she said no, I will have my girls call your ins. co. and get them to pay for it. She said, "This is not something we have just made up, it is documented." How nice of her. I printed out the 23 pages on the main site under Cluster Headaches and took that in when I went last Friday in a Kip Scale of 8 or 9.
I've had much worse, but at least they saw how I was (right in the middle of one). She is a new doc for me, my primary doc for insurance purposes.
Thanks for being there.
Bad, Bad Day
