If so, you can tell your SO from me, a clusterhead myself, that this site has information on clusters like you would not believe - many doctors don't believe it either.
If this is new to you, start printing out all the medical info under the buttons top left - if only to educate yourself.
Check out, (when SO is out of pain) what you are desired to do when the pain hits. Stick to that.
Check out the OUCH-link, they have lists of CH-conscious docs and maybe there is one in your neighbourhood.
And take heart. There are a number of ch-supporters visiting this board, partners to clusterheads who have lost all faith in meds and docs.
The information the partners dig up here, has in several cases led to betterment for the CH-sufferer (and the relationship.)
If as a supporter you need help, just ask. Your colleagues are always ready to support you.
