Post by iain_bridge on Oct 16^th, 2002, 8:08am

Hi guys
joined earlier on in the year when my partner stumbled upon the site but haven't visited since...
new to all this ya see. I'm glad there are people out there I can talk to now, some people think you're mad when you try to explain to them. I'm waiting for my next lot to come along generally twice a year March and October for about four weeks but they seem to be late this year..
anyway just thought I would introduce myself
cheers
Iain

Have you found meds that work for you already?

Welcome (unfortunately) to the family Ian. This is the perfect place to be for clusters. Let's just keep our fingers crossed, that you're cycle doesn't begin at all!

Take care,
:)Mel

Iain,
It'd be a really good idea to search around on this site, and also OUCH for meds information, BEFORE you have to go to the doc. You can totally educate yourself before you go see him. That way you have some ammo and some info to fight with :)
Good luck,
Mast

Welcome Iain,

Sorry you have to put up with the beast. There are a lot of very helpful people in this place. Also a lot of good info.
Like Mast said it's good to be well prepared with info. when you deal with the Dr's.
See ya soon,
Sue Ellen

Welcome to the group Iain. Hope your October visit from the beast is skipped this year. I'm sure you're just waiting for the SOB to stomp on your head.

Lots of information available here and year round member support. Even when someone is not in cycle it is helpful for others who are presently suffering to know that there is a light at the end of the demon tunnel.
