You gotta be kiddin' me? The demon sucks the big wazoo, believe me, I know. However, it's fairly simple what you have to do. First of all, I know your boss is a moron most of the time. Just sit your boss down and tell him you need a floating lunch schedule. Tell him you have headaches every once in a while and the best thing for you to do is to leave for about an hour until the headache goes away. Tell your boss to look at that as your lunch time. Bingo, you keep your job.
As for your wife. She has been extremely supportive. Tell her that. Tell her you realize that it sucks for her to come second to you when you are having the Cluster attack. Tell her you are not yourself when this happens. Remind her of your first 18 dates. Promise her you will be that guy when you are not having an attack. Run out to the neighbor's yard and steal a flower and give it to her.
Now the bull shit medical system. Call them up and with out telling them who you are, yell into the phone: FUCK YOU, EAT SHIT AND DIE. Then quickly hang up. This will relieve some of your anger and frustration. Next, fire your doctor. He is more of a moron than your boss is. Look up neurology in the phone book and close your eyes and put your finger on a name. This will probably be the doctor that you have been looking for.
You used the words "just about over". You are right! "Just about" is the key. Not a day goes by that I don't consider building a guillotine in my garage. You have too many emotions running through you right now. Rage, depression, bitterness and "just about" enough humor left to carry on.
After you make that call to the medical system and shout all the vulgar words you can think of at them, you will be able to rip up that ticket you have in your hand.
Please don't give up! Summer is around the corner. Soon it will be warm enough for you and the Mrs. to get naked and run around the neighborhood. We'll be thinking about you! Good Luck!!!!!
