Ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn't have CH's...
Would you be doing anything any different than you are?
Would you be a happier person?
I think I would be alot more active...enjoy being around others maybe...it's very isolating for me ....
How about you?

Hard to answer this type of question, hope.
I'm now 48 and have have these things for 27 years. They are part of the fabric. I consider myself extremely lucky when I look around and I sometimes consider my HA's a way of just keeping the glass from overflowing.
I know I'm much stronger because of them and it makes me appreciate the short time I have here.
Crazy? Maybe.

nah, hopefull, I agree with you. I hardly ever leave my house - just too scary to be "out in the open" and not near my bed, my meds.
I was teaching a college course this PM - got hit right in the middle of the class. Had to shoot up and admit to the students I was going to be woozy. I let 'em go early and went home to bed.

Hopefull,
I try to look at situations/medical conditions/problems...whatever term fits at the moment in perspective.
Yeah, I'm pissed about the fact that I suffer from these things.
And sometimes it really does'nt help when I explain what they are to someone who is courious and the reaction is usually"Wow! Holy Sh*t man. I don't think I could hang with that." and then come home,sit down to eat a nice dinner and BAM. It's not fun.
But you know, no matter where I am, there's no top or bottom in anything. Perspectively speaking.
True story: One of my co-workers lost his left leg just below his knee in a bike accident 4 months ago. He just came back to work.
I was talking to him the other day and he was happy and excited about the fact that they saved his knee. He can't wait until he gets his prosthetic leg. He's all jazzed because it's going to be all shiny and terminator looking. go figure..
And the very same day I listened to another co-worker vent and cuss and freak out because his neighbor is painting his house green. He HATES green..
go figure..
I don't know if any of that made any sense,I hope it did.
I know how you feel. Thats all I'm trying to say.
Take care,
Mark.

Nope, never give it a second thought.
Has CH changed my life? I don't see how it could not have, but I don't think all the changes have been bad ones either.
Would I be happier without them? Oh WOULD I!!!
But, I won't ever be without "them", (took awhile to accept that).
I've never allowed "them" to isolate me, (except during the attack). Maybe that's been my "key", I don't know.

I know my life has been changed because of CH and yes at times I do feel isolated.

here's my take.
if we didn't get them, we would not experience ch in a way that encourages us to enjoy that better part of our time. take a walk through a cancer clinic. i think they're worse off.
one of my friends in college killed himself, and nobody really ever found out why. i like to think we are better off than that.
sure some of our time is in bad pain. but with high mountains may come steep valleys. the truth is, there are treatments out there and we must do our best to use them, and see to it that on top of these things, our lives become whole. 
i hope you feel enlightened

nope. We're not gonna "overlook you"
It's a good question.
The only thing I would be doing differently is my job.
I clean houses because, 1. I'm good at it. and 2. because it affords me the luxury of being my own boss so that when I get hit I can go outside to my car, shoot up, bang my head into the dashboard, suck 02, and when it's over, no one is the wiser and I then go back to work.
Now...please look at the name you chose to use here.
There is hope. Don't be discouraged.

I hope this doesn't sound too bazaar.....sorry if it does ! But I think things like this teach sum people compassion.......did that make sense ? But fer sum that are chronic and hit so very hard I must admit it also makes them bitter and recluse-ive. I suppose that is true with any affliction. Pam that has an affliction addiction theory
