Hi Everyone. I am new to this site, but from what I've seen I'm happy I found it. I have a wonderful man in my life who suffers with these headaches on a regular basis. I have had migraines, but not cluster headaches per se. What I need is some advice from either sufferers or their sig. others on what I can do to comfort him. He hardly eats, barely sleeps more than few hours a night, has been yelled at at work because people do not understand his condition, and feels like he has no life because everything revolves around his pain. He feels like he disappoints me because he's usually feeling miserable. He couldn't survive without Imitrex (neither could I w/migraines), he takes what I think is too much "other" medicine (which does nothing), and I want to help him. It seems like I just stand there watching The Beast destroy him. Help!
