Hi I'm 46 and have shifted into what I fear is a chronic Cluster state. My heart goes out to you and your family. I would have given up if not for the support of my wife and four daughters who have endured this over the years with me. This support kept me going when I'm sure in my darkest moments I would have done something drastic.
Do you have a good Neurologist? I have to rotate treatments, Sansert, DHE,O2, Imitrex. As I've noted on this site before my headache seems to engineer around the treatment fairly Quickly.
I appreciate your strong words to the chap who cotinues to drink and then complain about his headaches. I made the decision years ago that I can't drink or smoke because of, to me, the obvious connection to the two as triggers. These headaches are easy to start and hard to stop.
Get a good Doc. There's treatment that can help him through this.
Good Luck to you both...
