Post by domm on Nov 4^th, 2002, 7:55pm

Scientists have proven that the mere presence of a spouse can triple the pain.....

My spouse, as a supporter, knows that the best response while i'm under attack is no response at all.

A simple "how are you doing" after the attack means the world to me as a sufferer.

She is an RN and I know it takes all the strength she can muster to leave me alone with my pain. It goes completely against all she has been trained to do and wants to do.

Know what raises my pain level...

"got a headache, why dont you take some aspirin and lie down"

Hows about I connect this wire coat hanger to an outlet and drill the other end up into your nasal cavity!

SUPPORTERS RULE!!

I'm with Don ..... SUPPORTERS RULE!!!!
If it weren't for Clark (when he's not deployed) I don't know if my children would survive my cycles!

He keeps them occupied or tells them what to do to help me and lets them know when to leave me alone.

Supporters have a hard job...it's not easy to watch someone you love and care about suffer unimaginable pain.

Margi has said it best many times, ask your significant other or what it is they need from you as a supporter when they are NOT having a headache.

and she triples my feelings when I'm feeling good. Don't misinterpret. I just found it interesting that the mere presence of another could effect someone that much.
