sorry to hear brother. i know your situation all too well. i actually just went back to work after 5 weeks of nothing. the thought of being away from home terrified me. i missed out on a lot, but after 22 years of this i dont mess with the beast. im in my 7th week now and they have subsided dramatically. 4 to 7 a day with 5 being kip 10+, im now down to 1 a day (middle of week 7, kip 2 and just annoying). stay strong and try all alternatives mentioned above. i have an unbelievable amount of respect for all clusterheads. only thing i can add is try to stay as positive as possible while going through them. i take them 1 cluster at a time and always tell myself im that much closer to being out of cycle after each one. its the toughest head game, but i know you can do it. you are in my prayers, God bless.
