I'm new to the site but not to clusters. 22 years. I'm 44 so half of my life has been fighting these. I just thank God they are episodic. you who have chronic are truly heros. I've been driven to irrational anger over my insurance company's refusal to fill the rx per the doc. This is going on as I write this and I found it sadly reassuring that others were having this problem too. Imitrex is the ONLY THING THAT HAS WORKED SHORT OF BEING KNOCKED OUT. I believe their actions are truly health driven not economic however this adds to the frustration because it further indicates how uninformed these professinals are re c/h. I also get mad when I think of the 500.00 per month premium I pay for these benefits. I would like to see us network as a group and help each other by flooding their switchboards with honest info re c/h and mentioning the person we are calling on behalf of. Is this any kind of good idea or am I just being irrational?
