I know you are upset with your wife. I can tell by your post you are a weak man instead of seeing your wifes call for help and helping her, you say it could be the end for you two. Maybe that would be a blessing for her. I have CH chronic had for 19 years would be dead now if it was not for the board and my family even my husband has helped me.
My husband and I do not get along and our marriage is in trouble. But our troubles have nothing to do with clusters. My husband backs me when I hurt with CH. I have tried to kill myself because of the pain. The pain is just so bad you would do anything to make it stop.
Is their a cure NO but there is medication that can help she needs aa good doctor to find the right medication. I had CH everyday for 19 years.
I took print outs from this site to my doctor and we found the right medication. People shared with me what worked for them. I am now down to about 4 clusters a week use to have anywhere from 21 to 28 clusters a week.
If you want to help your wife read the site talk to us and we will tell you what we can. Then find her a good doctor, but telling her life with you is over cause she can't handle the pain sucks. What ever happen to for better or worst ! If it was you in this kind of pain, I bet if it was you you could not take the pain. Get off your butt and help her.
I know its hard to be a supporter! I know your job sucks to but you both have to deal with this!
If you love her you will be more understanding and help her. It might help her to talk to us. There are lots of supporters on this board to, who can talk to you. All you have to do is ask!
Tell your wife she is on our minds and in our hearts. Believe it or not you are too.
