My new family

I found this site when I was coming to the end of my last cycle about 2 months ago. Before that I was alone with this for 40 years, never hearing of another sufferer.
I am now addicted, returning everyday to read the message boards, and occasionally to join in.
I just need to say that no where in my life have I come across a group of people like this, you are all so friendly and caring.
I would like to say a big thank you to all of you - I now have a new second family.
Thank you and pain free wishes to you all.
Mike

You're welcome! We're all in the same, or similar boats.... Only a clusterhead can truly understand what this is truly like. Supporters too, must not forget them, God bless them!
Wishing you PF days and nights,
Ray

This is one addiction that I can say "ain't addiction grand?".
I've tried to stay away from this place every now and then, but I've found I can't go a week without my family fix.
I love this place

Just wait til you have a chance to meet us all in person at a get-together or a convention then. You'll never be the same.

Fuck you. We're not all like that.
I'm just kidding, Michael! Good to have you aboard. This is a strange and fascinating bunch, isn't it? It's my home away from home.

Michael,
You are so right! I found this board about 6 months ago and I don't even want to think about where I would be without it.
I'm here every day except when I'm out of town. 1st thing I do when I get home? Get on ch.com of course

Glad you're here too Mike.
My Ch symptoms have been gone for a long long time. When I surfed around wondering if I could find a site or two; I got hooked. It was stunning to find so many others battling this horror. They taught me a lot too.
Now I have to be here as one of the resident geezers to keep them in line.

Mike, (may I call you that?)....too bad
I washed up here in 1999 after 23 years of this crap in my head, we not only started an org to help us all out, we started a family......and im proud that you are part of it.
We all know what this is about and deal with it with the help from this family. I have met most of the folks that post here everyday and I would do anything for them.
"Grab an oar and row"..........which means keep supporting these fine folks.
Welcome aboard!!

Glad you're here, Mike. You have a lot to offer--your experience with CH is most welcome.
It's good to see another long-time clusterhead here. 
Welcome aboard.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Hi Mike, and welcome! You won't ever meet a more pain in the ass nicer group of hellions caring folk than here
I was the same way: searched for a couple of years after being diagnosed and found this site in 99(?). I spent the first few months just reading posts and cryin my eyes out with relief that I was no longer alone.
Left for a little while (not entirely by choice) but once this roamer returned home, I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Welcome home!
Your sis,
Jen
