Paul Puhali is suffering: The 63-year-old is hit by severe headache attacks up to five times a day. These can only be tolerated if he inhales medical oxygen in good time. But there are problems with the delivery - the "Krone" wanted to know why.

"It starts with a tingling sensation behind my right ear and ends with the feeling as if someone is sticking a knife in my eye and turning it around". This is how Paul Puhali from Roitham describes his cluster headache attacks, which afflict the 63-year-old four to five times a day.
