ClusterBusters is a blessing. Without the organization and it's dedicated leadership and members many sufferers, including us, probably wouldn't be around....THANK YOU!!

They are very helpful in getting information and using it to try to make the public and our federal government award of our plight. The group is well versed on how to get news out to everyone. Plus they advocate for all in chronic pain of some sort.

Misdiagnosed with migraines 30 years ago, then diagnosed correctly 25 years ago, I've relied on my neurologist (a globally recognized cluster headache specialist) for education and information. Sadly, for the past 25 years, I've been under-educated and poorly-informed. Joining Clusterbusters earlier this year and attending their recent conference have been life-changing, life-saving, transformative experiences. I've learned more in the past few months than I've learned cumulatively over the years about the condition, medications, treatment options, research studies, opportunities for advocacy; the list is boundless as is the generativity which is a cornerstone of the organization. Of particular note, is my gained awareness that there are countless others like me, ready and willing to connect, to share freely their experience and hope. Until recently, I had resigned myself to the dismal, stark reality that I'd likely forever be alone with my experience. In 30 years I'd not met another cluster headache survivor. With gratitude, I can say I have and because of Clusterbusters I'm confident I'll continue meeting others who've traversed similar trajectories, others who've experienced the abject despair, terror, hopelessness, helplessness, and wholly incapacitating pain associated with cluster headaches. Clusterbusters is a vital cluster headache community resource for survivors and supporters and interested others, a life-line onto which one can take hold of and no longer feel adrift, untethered. It has become my absolute first line resource for information I require regarding the condition and the whole of managing it. My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner because, now that I have, I can't imagine letting it go. In its absence, I'd be loathe to consider possible adverse consequences for some/many of those who've found a home in the organization and, perhaps especially for those who long to find and continue searching for a credible, singular, multi-dimensional resource available for providing them with the help they so desperately want and need.

Clusterbusters is a life changing organization and has helped many people find support, treatment, and a will to continue living.

Clusterbusters gave me my life back. 15+ years I suffered with Chronic CH, dealing with 5-8 attacks a day ranking from a 7 to a 9 on the pain scale. (As a point of reference, a broken toe on Saturday night and wearing wingtips to church on Sunday is a 5.)

From that experience, through what I have learned from Clusterbusters, I just celebrated 61 weeks 99% pain-free. Yes, I am counting! The longest I ever went pain free during that 15+ years was one 90 day break. I had a few two or three day breaks, but they were maybe once or twice a year. I cannot say enough good about Clusterbusters Inc and what Bob Wold and the others in the organization are doing for those of us who have the world's most painful medical condition.

I honestly would not have survived with Cluster Headaches as long as I have without Clusterbusters, and that is a fact. Their support, help, and research has kept me going. I have chronic cluster headaches and have lived with them for over 8 years now. Doctors have given up on me, but Clusterbusters hasn't. They helped get me more relief than medical science ever did. They gave me more support than medical science ever did, and more understanding than they ever did.

I came to them broken, and at a point where my last resort was either try them, or end up dead. They saved my life.

Thank you Clusterbusters!

Clusterbusters has been leading the way in support of Cluster Headache patient advocacy, support, and research. Their hard work and efforts have led to dramatic quality of life improvements for myself and others. I am so thankful for the work they do.

Clusterbusters is an amazing nonprofit that has helped so many people with this horrendous disorder, including myself. Clusterbusters saved my life.

Every year the organization gathers for conferences that are comprised of the leading neurologists, advocates, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients. This is the largest and most effective patient advocacy group that is literally saving lives. While many groups offer good wholesome therapy, this organization's drive to not only lift people up out of the depths of chronic pain hello I that of functioning, thriving, pain free individuals is beyond praiseworthy.
Aligning themselves with other organization's to advocate not only for our condition but for other related disorders puts it on another level of nobility.
It has and continues to be a life saver

A truly great organization that is helping so many people battling the devastating illness that is cluster headaches. The information, education and support provided by Clusterbusters is saving lives. There is no other place anywhere with this kind of information that so many have used with such great success. I just can't rate this organization high enough. Keep up the great work!

Cluster busters brings together people that are suffering from the most painful condition known to man. Through the tireless efforts of this organization, many treatments have been found, communication between both patients and doctors has led to great advances in treatment, and most importantly, many lives have been saved. The ongoing work will continue to improve the quality of life for patients, and I firmly believe that a cure will be found as a direct result of the efforts of these amazing people. Attending a conference is life changing. Bonds are made that are as strong as family, and the conference brings together people from all over the world. I can not express in words just how powerful the impact of this organization is for this community of patients. Thank you to all involved! Joe Sacks

I am a spouse of a episodic headache sufferer. It is agonizing for both the person that has it and the family that has to watch and feel helpless. This awful "illness" needs to be brought to the forefront of our medical and pharmaceutical community ASAP and the research needs to continue. Until you have cluster headaches or know someone that does...you will never understand the level of pain. Something needs to be done about this. This isn't about making money for our pharmaceutical companies...this is about finding desperately needed relief. They call it the "suicide headache' for a reason. How many lives have to be lost and pain endured before something is going to be done?!?!?! I am so thankful for Clusterbusters. It has given us so much information and people who understand at a time when you feel so alone.

As a supporter of a cluster headache sufferer, I can assure you that dealing with cluster headache can make you feel very lonely and helpless. Finding Clusterbusters Inc. has been instrumental in helping me know I am not alone and I have become a stronger, better supporter. No one understands how horrible this medical condition is better than those who suffer with it and their supporters. Clusterbusters Inc. offers much appreciated support, compassion, education, treatment options, and advocacy and I am very thankful for them.

I have had clusters for 20 years now and can say I was truly lost until I came across these guys and gals. The work they do is tireless and Bob Wold remembers everyone and always makes time to respond to any query.

I have been lucky enough to be in remission for 2 years but now they are back and this is the 1st place I visit as I know I will get the best help and advise from people who really understand this debilitating disease...

I visit the Clusterbusters forum just about every day. My son suffers from this insidious disease. Cluster headache has got to be one of the worst conditions a person can have. Most people are unaware of how devastating cluster headaches really are. We need to raise awareness. I am grateful to have found the Clusterbusters website. Although my heart aches for the poor sufferers it is good to know that I am not alone as a person who is affected by this condition. There is a lot of useful information and even hope that something others have tried may work for us also.

I recently attended the 10th annual Clusterbuster Annual conference. My 10 yr. old son was diagnosed with episodic cluster headaches, earlier this year. I was desperate to get information on how to deal with, and live with this dreadful condition. Clusterbusters is an amazing group of sufferers, supporters and advocates. So many of the inroads in treating this disease have come from the interchanging of ideas and therapy options that the sufferers on the front lines have shared via groups like Clusterbusters. I am now armed with knowledge, options and incredible support from others I have met through this group.

Clusterbusters, President Bob Wold, has saved not only my dads life (chronic Cluster Headache Sufferer) but the lives of so many others that have to live with this undescriable pain, which is known to be the worst pain know to medical science thus the name "suicide headaches". My dad moved in with me years ago at age 28 and continues to live with me due to this debilitating condition/disease.

Bob Wold's knowledge, wisdom, compassion and commitment to educating and spreading awareness about Cluster Headaches is groundbreaking. I ask those of you reading this to take a minute to go to the cluster buster website and learn at least one fact about cluster headaches. Pass the one fact on to one other person asking them to do the same. That one thing could save so many lives. It saved my dads life and I can 100% say without a doubt Cluster Busters with President Bob Wold will open your eyes to this.
