Quick apology

Hi all,
As I've spent a significant amount time on this site over the past week or so, I have really learned a lot (both about CH and about this community). I have re-read my first post a few times ("Will there ever be a cure" ) and wanted to extend a belated apology for asking such a question. Without knowing that this group existed, I often wondered whether there were enough people out there suffering from CH to be able to support a study of the condition - thinking that maybe we were being ignored. I now know that I am incorrect, and I also now understand that the use of word "Cure" is not taken lightly. I wish I could change my initial post's title! So, as they say, hindsight is always 20-20 - and I wanted to extend an apology to you all for starting off on that note. Thank you for your responses just the same, and I promise to be a more informed poster from here on out.
Take care & PF wishes to all!
Meg

I re-read your thread, and it is a thoughtful question presented in a careful way. There is no need for you to apologize.
Also, you are still here, contributing, and holding on to the lifeline.
I aplogize for having "cure" as a trigger word.

There is a great deal of difference between asking whether there will ever be a cure, and saying "I have a cure".
Asking whether there will ever be a cure is not the one that will stir up trouble. 
Furthermore, there is a big difference between saying, "I have a cure", and "I'm selling a cure". We get that here, too. The latter posts do not generally end well.
Not to worry. You were askin', not sellin'.
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.

Asking question is fine and dandy. No need to apologise.
The worst thing that can happen when asking a question is the answer No.
In our case, lets hope it is Not yet !

Asking if there will be one is just fine.
Telling us there is and you have it is another.
I ask myself everyday if there will be a cure.

Sometimes that question occurs hourly.

Hi Tarheel!
I came in on the ass end of this thread.....  , but I have ppl to ask my clusterhead husband......Isn't there a cure for that...it's just headaches!!!?? The poor fools don't have a clue as to what sufferers, or supporters go through!!
Now........I am wondering by your screen name?...Are you from NC? I am a supporter, because my hubby is a clusterhead! I, too, am addicted to this site  ! Welcome to the world of understanding!! Hugs!!
