I've always figured ya' better laugh about it - or this nightmare will drive ya' insane.
But as another July passes and takes with it my hopes for a short break that I occasionally get during summer - I'm really feeling down.
The breaks don't happen every year and they don't last long - 1mos is heaven and early in my CH career I managed to get one that lasted nearly 3mos.
It's been so long this time that I don't feel like laughing right now - I just feel beat and terribly tired.
Really need a break from this nightmare because it's eatin' my soul.
Thanks for giving me a place to get this off my chest. - I'll be fine once I get over my self-pitty.
I apologize for whinin'.
Tom

Hugs to you, Tom. My honey isn't getting a break this year either - he's approaching the SEVEN month mark of this cycle. He's never gone this long before. 
2 other Canadian clusterheads we know have also just passed their 6 month mark of their cycles. Maybe it's an El Nino or La Nina year or something, I dunno.
Peace be with you, Tom - hope you get a break soon.

It just baffles the shit out of me there's never been 'some sort' of cure for this shit or sumthin that lasts for months or whatever......not even some of the worst diseases cause that kind of rapid intense pain and daily suffering. Oh there's that tea stuff rite.......jus jokeing. Observant supporter Pam

Never feel bad about letting off steam! That's what we're all here for. And it's okay to have self-pity once in awhile, so long as it doesn't become your whole world, which I know it has not for you! 
The beast (and yeah...even Migraines - shhhh I didn't say that!) seems to be especially evil this summer! I've been feeling more and more drained by it lately, as well.
I'm sorry for mentioning this - but I've had a migraine that's been kicking my a$$ since last Wednesday - I always have a migraine, but this attack has been much worse than usual! Then the CH always seem to drive up the migraine pain. I've spent most of the time outside of work in bed or else rocking and pacing to fight the beast.  I think the weather is in part responsible for making me feel this bad!
I had all weekend off and I was planning to really dig in on studying for my boards which are next Monday. Unfortunately, spent most of the weekend with my ice packs and O2! 
{{{{{{{Tom}}}}}}}}} Hope you get a break soon!! Never easy when you feel like it's wearing you down so much...
Hugz,
Carrie

Thanks all. I do apologize.
My very first cycle (if you could call it that) lasted 2 years. I got used to cycles lasting 1-2 years before a break but this one has just past the 3 year mark and it got to me.
I feel better today - (didn't have any attacks last night), so I'm going listen to my own words to others.
"Gotta' keep looking ahead."
