Combined ratings table killing me!!!

[gsfowler]

I know how you feel. I was diagnosed with cluster headaches by 2 doctor my neurologist and neuro surgeon, due to nerve damage in my neck for several discs and nerve damage at serveral locations causing daily headaches. I know exactly what you mean. Headaches so bad you feel like it's your worst hangover ever, but you didn't drink. For me my biggest issue is noises kill me when I have my headaches. Like a dripping faucet would make me scream.

I don't know why they won't except the diagnosis...

Cluster headaches are either rated as a residual of TBI (code 8045) or Migranes (code 8100)

8100 Migraine:

With very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability 50%

With characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over last several months................................................30%

With characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months over last several months %10

With less frequent attacks %0
