I'm sure your mom still IS your best friend, honey. She's probably just as frustrated as you are, maybe even more so because she feels so totally helpless to stop your pain.My husband used to get cluster headaches, like you do, and there were times when I used to feel completely useless and unable to do anything for him. I'm sure he figured I didn't want to be there at times. But I did, it's just hard sometimes to be able not to help someone you love.If your mom needs to talk to some other folks who go through HER pain, tell her to visit us at the Family Services Team. Click on the OUCH button on the left, and then find the menus above the map. There is stuff there for her too. And for your boyfriend.Hang in there, girl - know that you are never alone now that you've found us, and there is a wealth of information at your fingertips now to help you win this battle.Margi
