NO!!!, not an episode....I'm friggin chronic....LOL (at least I can laugh) ;D
It's been about a year since I brought this up, there are alot of new people just in that last week never mind year so, Here I go again.
Do you have a funny story that has to do with CH, How about a really embarrasing story..Maybe even the craziest thing you ever did to get rid of a HA.
Any story that you think only someone with CH could relate to.
I ecspecialy want to hear from new people here (this is how we get to know you) and supporters, supporters must have the greatest stories looking in from the outside, they see us better than we know. ;D....Oldtimers, retyping your story will allow the new people get to know us.
GIVE IT UP!!

When I feel one coming on at work I drive over to the beach (2 minutes). I stab myself and hope the imitrex beats the beast. One time I didn’t catch it in time and was doing the rock and moan thing. Someone called the police, who they wanted to know what was going on. I asked them politely to leave me alone, then told them to get the F*** out of here. I didn’t realize they set behind me until the CH was gone. Then I noticed I had an audience, the police and several other people. I was embarrassed and pissed. I just want to be left alone when I get a CH. I hope they were just concerned but I hate to be watched during a CH.

My last cycle, almost 3 years ago, I got hit at work pretty hard. I was the headwaitress at a busy restaurant, and it was an evening shift with the place full and people waiting outside. There was me and some new people on and I didn't feel like I could leave. Where was I going to go anyway? I took my meds and tried to work through it. So I was running around with my nose running and my eye all red, trying to breath normally and not swear at anyone. In between I was running back to the walk in freezer and staying there as long as I could. I was trying to tell my customers that I had gotten something in my eye and that I would be "just fine, thank you".
It passed after a while but I'm sure I looked like a freak. My coworkers didn't know what to say. els

A few years ago I was living in Kansas and didn't feel like I was close enough to anybody there to burden them with taking me to the DR one Saturday afternoon when hit with a series of 10's.
Showed up at the Dr, and I was the last appt. I lied to the DR and told her a friend of mine dropped me off and would be coming to pick me up. She decides to give me an injection of STadol (never had it before). After the injection I say, "well I can just go wait out front for my friend" and the Dr is like "no way...Stadol is really strong, you could pass out or something, the nurse will wait with you i the front but you must sit down". Oh GREAT! So I had to sit there with the nurse looking out the window for my "friend" to come driving into the parking lot. Meanwhile, the parking lot is emptying out and my car is dead center (the only one left). And I keep saying "i can't imagine where my friend it".. and then I say "maybe she just went over to get a burger at Wendy's. I can go over and see"....Oh no! They won't let me leave!
Bottom line, the DR wound up driving me home!!! We're driving out of the parking lot...right past MY car and I'm going "I can't imagine what happened to my friend, I hope she wasn't in an accident"..
Got home, called a coworker who drove me back to the Dr's office...proceeded to go home and basically be sicker than I've ever been! I don't know what's in that Stadol but I thought I was going to die! Never again!

This cycle has been one of my worst in terms of how severe the pain was... made me recalibrate my scale. A Kip-10 is no longer what I thought it was before.
One night sitting in front of the computer, I got hit really hard with a Kip-25. I started screaming and pounding on the desk and made my coffee cup jump off of the desk. It landed on the keyboard. I took the keybard apart to dry it out. Needless to say, it didn't work anymore. Cost me $20 for a new one.
Another Kip-25, I started screaming and crying. I decided to hide in the closet, hoping not to wake my wife and kids again. For some reason I started punching holes in the wall. The next day my wife noticed the holes in the wall and asked what happened. I told her it was a Kip-25... but she didn't understand. She asked if I thought that was really fucking stupid? I told her it didn't seem so at the time. She asked if I knew I could have broken my hand and go to the ER? I told her it didn't matter at the time. She wanted to know if I knew how much it was going to cost to fix it? I told her no I didn't think it important at the time. I still have to fix the wall. ;D

I used to work for a pharmaceutical wholesale co. and they had a walk in fridge in the warehouse.
If/when I would get hit at work I would go in there and sit on a pallet and rock in the cold air...it was a pretty strange site for co-workers but whaddayagonnado?
 It sucked working in a place where they had all the meds you could possibly need and your heads about to explode and there ain't a damn thing you could do about it.
I remember those cases and cases of Imitrex! I'm going back!

I was in college working on a theatre production. I started the headache (this was long before I knew what a CH was, I had never heard of them) and went to find somewhere where I could unobtrusively writhe in pain.
I don't remember much, other than one of my friends holding me down to keep me from banging my head on the hardwood floors....
They called 911 and the paramedics arrived... Took my blood preasure 210/115. They were sure that I had a stroke or an anurism... They got me to the hospital did a CT scan. By this time, about 3-4 hours had passed since it started and it was on its way out. They gave me a VERY large dose of demorol. And I walked out.
Why is it that Narcotics are always the "FIX" for everything?

Let see now, There was a story I read on the guest book some 3 or 4 years ago. This guy was from England. And when he got a ch he would go out into his back yard lay down and put a frozen package of Peas on his crotch for and hour or so. He claimed that worked on his ch. The way this guy wrote that note had me in tears. I know he didn't mean it to be funny, but I was laughing so hard I couldn't help it..........It sure made my night.

I don' know if this qualifies but here goes.
Back in 2001 I use to have to fly to Houston (from New Orleans) weekly to work a building that was a cluster unto its self. Toward the end of the week I was asked if I could stay over an extra day. The Demond was kicking my ass all week long, got behind, and I could not leave certain items left over till the following week. Did a quick inventory of the meds and rescheduled my flight. That night he hit me bad and often and, as we all know, rationalized my way into consumming all remaining supplies. It's alright..I won't get any tomorrow.
Friday, running late, scared shitless in a hot taxi on the way to the airport. He returned. He knew I was helpless and decided to ratchet it up full bore.
Stumble quickly through the terminal, head in hand. Concourse packed but somehow, even though I'm looking only toward the floor, not running into anyone. They must see that my eye is out of its socket and would rater not step on it.
Arrive at the check-in counter..or should I say the check-in line..trail...road...highway...interstate..orbit. It seems as if it extends back at least to New Orleans. Why am I getting on this plane anyway? Can't be still. Big gap in line where I am. Most think I am chanting. All I need are the little finger cymbals, a white moo moo and a shaved head. The attendants face contorts as she pans up from the counter and gets a glimps of me then asks for my identification. Is that what I look like..? You want a piece of this lady? Five seconds of this ...that's all you need. She knows what I am thinking. She looks down and dosen't look up until I am gone.
Secure my boarding pass to hell. Number 127. Geeeoo f 'ing great! Muffeled announcement redundantly belts out the obvious. Shhhhh.. uhh.. "passengers for flight from hell, nonstop to hell, is running a little late. Sorry for the delay...Please be patient and don't pace around the waiting area like that drooling man with the sagging face". Damn it can someone please please fix the airconditioning in this hole! My skull hurts bad.
Finally the plane arrives and we are proded like cows into the flying tube. Good...at least the airconditioning will be better in the plane. The air was different but in the wrong direction. As I walked down the isle the newspaperless, bookless and passengers busily fanning themselves looked up at me and my eyeball. Their faces began to contort as the check-in attendant's had. It was like the wave at a ballgame. Hey not a very nice persons, you want a piece of this? I swear..five seconds of this...that's all. Any takers? Chickenshits; all of you.
I'm looking for a seat next to the fuselage on the starboard side so I can bang my head. Boarding pass number 127. Remember? Plopped down in a port side middle seat and bent over, head in hand. The frequency of the whine of the engines kept time with the relentless pounding. The guy on my left did not exist. I could have eaten my arm off and it would not have bothered him in the least. Guy on my right tapped me on the arm and asked if I was ok. As I looked up....you got it... his face...
He apparently flagged down the flight attendants and the next thing I know is now I have an audience. Terrific! I just want to be left alone. I can't get out of my seat now can I. You can't do anything.... unless you both want to take off you clothes, get you contorted faces out of here! One of the attendants asks if there is anything that they can do. "no mam", I said through the paste in my mouth. I was thinking...Yea, tell the pilot to crash this plane so I can get to the freaking oxygen mask that you blathered about earlier.
Suddenly, somewhere over Houma, the bastard began to drain away. Exhausted but alive, I lifted my head as the gear went down. The guy on my right was amazed. I felt great. Walked off the plane with a bounce. The Demond was gone.

Here's a little embarassing CH moment...
A couple of years ago, I had this very important video-conference meeting with some big cheeses from Toronto and Vancouver that I didn't know. The way these things work is you see who you are talking to on a giant-screen and you also see yourself in a corner of the screen.
You guessed it. I got hit. Bad. And I just couldn't leave. So I passed a paper to my client (who doesn't know I have CH) telling her "I am not doing well. Take over. Will explain later". But as the meeting advances, I can see myself going nuts on the giant screen. I am starting to rock on my chair and trying to press my forehead into my brain. And then... I start sweating. I am wearing this blue shirt and you can clearly see the sweat taking over. Little patches of sweat were forming here and there until the whole shirt is fully covered in sweat.
Finally, a guy in Vancouver, 3000 miles away from me, asks: Michel, are you OK? And by this time, I didn't give a shit about my "carreer" anymore and simply said "You know what? Not really" and I walked out of there. I later tried to explain what is CH to my client. In thirty seconds. Not easy...
Same night, a miracle happened, my client saw, by total coincidence, a TV segment which talked about CH. She called me the next morning and said she understood what I was going through during that meeting. She was really interested and impressed.
Thank God!

Before anyone diagnosed me correctly I was dignosing myself. There was one time during a peak week when I was getting kip 10's constantly and had come to the conclussion that it was my teeth. My teeth are doing this to me for sure I thought........so I drove to the dentist, half blinded, eye watering, in head banging pain, ran into the dentist office and demanded he pull all my teeth, right now. He just looked at me like I was fucked. He told me to take a seat and he'll be right out after he finished with a patient to talk. I stood there in the corner with my fist in my eye and just moaned. I can't believe I did that ) Anyway my cluster quit, I walked out, and never went to that dentist again) I'm sure he thinks I'm a nutcase LOL
But I'm Still Smilin'
Nice thread Jonny

Years ago, before we knew what clusters were really all about, we did some really dumb stuff....
One time we had been bass fishing. After loading the boat we decided to stop at this bar for burgers and a few beers (Blake drank in those days).
We had a couple beers and here comes the demon!! It wasn't a really bad hit and was over in about 15 minutes. This really pissed Blake off so he decided he was going to drink the SoB into submission.....forever. You all can figure what happened.....He drank about 6 or 8 more beers. Here comes the next hit and it was a dandy!! I helped him to the Jeep and off we go. Now, the CH keeps getting stronger and harder. Blake tells me to pull over because he needed to do a "bullet". The first place I found was a church parking lot. Blake jumps out drops his pants and proceeds to take care of his "medication". Imagine a 6'4" man, with a full blown Kip 10, hunkered down in a church parking lot, drunk, pants around his ankles, trying to inserting a bullet. Oh, it was about 90 degrees to boot......bless his heart  A few passing cars slowed down but we didn't really give at shit by this time.... ;D
There are lots of CH stories in our house but that's the first that came to mind.......especially since jonny started the thread. Such are the life and times of clusterheads and their partners/supporters.

I want to thank you all for posting to this thread, but I have to laugh at Jacks post.....LMMFAO!!!!
Jacks posts has drawn me out to tell mine and to me its not funny.
I like blake was taking the bullet, now this is not easy even if your alone in a bathroom. I was heading home from work when I felt the burn of the beast and the only place to pull over to take the bullet was a rest stop that was a known gay rest stop where they will pull you in the woods with force.
I whip in there and look around (Ahhhh, no one around) I pull my pants down and shoot my bullet, as im pulling my pants up I see this dude looking in the back window......Pants unbuckled I fly out the door with a three foot piece of aluminum pipe screaming "Im going to kill you"........Well, pants fell down I tripped and the homo got away.
I can say the adrenilin (SP?) did lessen the HA

Jonny,
I get on this board to get relief from this pain and you post something to make me laugh like that.  I got tears in both eyes now. How does something so good make it hurt so bad? ??? It is worth the pain. Great post.
I don't have any real stories to tell. I just try to get away from any and all people as soon as I can. Mine are normally pretty regular, so i know when not to be out and about.
Probably my worst public experience happened at work about three months ago. My boss knows I have clusters and had read Simon's letter, but had never seen one. Fortunately the house we were working on was only about ten minutes from my house and my wife and kids stopped by to see the job we were doing. I had been having shadows all day and walked in the back door of teh house the same time my wife walked in the front door and one of the other guys sprayed some aerosol sealer/primer on the wall. Instant 10. My knees buckled and I literally hit the floor on my knees and right onto my face. Both my boss and my coworker thought I was dying. I was praying that I would. I rolled around on the floor crying and almost screaming for about fifteen minutes before it eased enough my wife could drive me home. I get 10's frequently, but never that fast and of that intensity. The ony good thing to come out of it is that from that point on if I tell the boss I need to take off there is absolutely NO question other than do I want someone to drive me. He also lets me work entirely on my own schedule and tries to make jobs for me that I can do in the evenings when I can function the best.
