ACUTE CLUSTERS

sometimes i am at a loss because i hear about the patterns of clusters that affect people at different times of the year, I have not had a break now for 2 years and have between 2 and 8 attacks a day, I have 2 injections a day and oxygen, but have got to the point when one day off would be so good, does anyone else have these attacks every day I understand now why they call them suicide headaches because some days I dont even want to get out of bed, yet still today I receive no benefits as they say that I sometimes only have two attacks and can prepare meals in advance and lift my arm above my head, whoever decides these benefits needs to come stay with me for a few days

Hi Jane,

Sorry to hear you are suffering so, you might find it helpful to call our Helpline 01646 651979 for some great advice including a possible way of giving you a day or two's break from the incessant onslaught! Make that call you will not regret it, just leave a message and someone will get back to you.
