Hi Mike,
I've just been browsing Ouchuk forum, and found a must read poem on CH. It certainly hit's the nail on the head. A must read for all of us suffering the beast. |

If you are in the UK, sorry, I have no idea. In the US, there is no listing in the social security blue book for headache disorders. You have to get a diagnosis for depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies in order to get disability. A group of us were in Washington in April with an event called "Headache on the Hill" (HOH 2013). We were asking for headache disorders to be included in the listing of disabilities. Check it out on facebook. You will find lots of information and help there.
