Sorry but The help I need is for Cluster Headaches. I didn't print right in the previous message. I have no medical insurance and I have had suicidal thoughts because of the severity that they have become. I cannot afford the medications or shots required to help bear the pain. The headaches are now chronic. I cannot work or afford catscans or MRIS. Is there anyone out there that can help me? My email address is balladofyouth@hotmail.com
