I suffer from Cluster Headaches, and I have some problems with my C6-C7 disc and foraminal narrowing. The later was a big problem, but seems to be in a sort of remission of sorts - I've gained most of the strength back in my right arm and it doesn't hurt all the time.

The CH I'm stuck with the rest of my life. I have an oxygen machine at home that helps sometimes, and I have injections that I give myself when the oxygen doesn't arrest them.

I've also began a really good program that I'd recommend to any chronic pain sufferer. They basically teach you things like bio feedback and deep relaxation. I'm at the baby steps right now, but there are people who can undergo dental work and even surgery with no anesthetic. I don't know if I'll ever get that far, but the methods do help.
