Wife of a Clusterhead

It is absolutly horrible to sit and watch a loved one suffer the way my husband does. I feel so helpless. All I can do is get the Ice pack, aspirin and coffee.

You see... we have no insurance and the hospitals here treat my husband like he is a drug addic withdrawing from something. The worst case the pumped his stomach and left him there.

I just wish more emergency rooms knew what a cluster headache was. It is so frustrating.
