Clusters are non-discriminatory. They strike those with beautiful families, as well as those who are alone. I must say that it sounds as if you have a wonderful family. I am a chronic, and fully understand your circumstance. One of the natural results of constant, unrelenting pain is depression. Another is physical fatigue. There is no way to suffer CH's without having your family life affected. But you can still enjoy them. I have been down, bedridden, since Sunday morning, with a "screamer", off and on. Yet my wife and I are loading up the golf bags today, for a round of golf. Learn to take advantage of the good times, and just endure the tough ones. You will find that your memories are not of headaches, but of the laughter of your children. Good luck...Mike
