sorry if this has already been answered somewhere.

does social security classify chronic cluster headaches as a disabilty?

I asked the same question myself, but I just recently was approved for SSDI after the first try.  Just be as detailed as possible to the point of being repetitive (a lady who worked for SS told me that is the best way to get approved, and it worked for me).

This was fate, I was just l was just looking up info on SSI for clusters.  I'm 7+ months into this cycle and nothing (even 02) is working for me.  I've missed 4 days of work this month alone for the pain.  I knwo my work is slipping not to mention what doesn't get done when I'm not there.  I don't want to go on SSI as financially it would really hurt us....but if I can't get some relief I may not have a choice.  I'm averaging 2-6 hits a day with half of them being level 8-10.  I'm up to 13 pills a day as preventative to try and break the cycle.  I give myself 2-3 shots at least twice a week, and use nasal spray in between.  I use the O2 when the pain gets too bad and I need 5-15 minutes of relief (unfortunately it only works  for me when the mask is on, as soon as it's off the pains back), and I take narcotics to take enough of the edge off so I'm not in a ball rocking back and forth.
