Story
Our close friend Nathan is currently suffering from a life debilitating condition. He needs a private operation ASAP.......
For many years he suffered from a Neurological condition since having a Brain Tumour as a teenager. In the past 3 years this condition has gradually got to the point where he can no longer hide it, he can no longer do day to day activities ie; work, drive and generally struggles to leave the house, it has literally taken over his life. It is a brutal and disabling attack which can last between 15/180 mins, he is currently having between 3/7 attacks per day.
He desperately requires this operation privately as the waiting time via the NHS is 6 months from now. He physically cannot wait that long now any longer.
This is a life changing condition that needs to be addressed and taken seriously! Please help Nathan change his life; this is no way for a young man who has everything going for him live his life!!!
Nathan and Natalie are due to get married on the 9th April 2017 as Le Petit Chateau in Northumberland. Currently all wedding plans have had to be put on hold due to Nathan not being able to work and only receiving SSP.
Thank you for donating and having the courage to change someone's life! xxxx
NATHAN'S OPERATION:
There is no cure for cluster headache. Current treatments to relieve symptoms include preventive and acute abortive drugs such as injectable medications and inhaled oxygen.
The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is a nerve bundle located deep in the face, behind the root of the nose. It is part of the autonomic nervous system.
Stimulation of the SPG with the Pulsante™ SPG Microstimulator System offers a reversible and adjustable option to control the debilitating pain of cluster headache. This neuromodulation solution is thought to interrupt and block the nerve signals that are thought to be responsible for generating and maintaining the pain and autonomic symptoms associated with cluster headache.
