Title: Thank you all for your help and ........ Post by eileen on Apr 17th, 2003, 2:11pm I just finished my cycle and people are asking what was wrong how do you feel what is it???? How you do explain this? Is it a disease?? Is it a symdrome??? I feel stupid trying to explain because people always say o0o a headache, like a migriane, I feel I over explain it or they think I am making it worse.... Sometimes I feel stupid trying to make them understand...now I just say I feel fine.. does anyone else feel like that????? Thank you all for all your help and support... |

Many of us feel the same as you, not really knowing how to explain it. Only my closest friends and family understand so I leave it as that and just try to avoid as many others as possible while in cycle. Well you are just in time to have a wonderful PF summer, enjoy yourself and stick around! suzy |

Post by Frank on Apr 17th, 2003, 2:37pm The only time I discussed them with somebody other than family and my boss, I was at my neighborhood bar having a few beers and a guy is holding his head looking like he was about to fall on the floor... and I commented that it looked like he was having one hell of a headache... and he said yeah, clusters. It's the only time I have ever randomly met a clusterhead. |

You would not freak, Suz.....you would help without blinking an eye. At the Atlanta convention I was in the lounge (who me?) when someone called my name, I went over to see a clusterhead banging their head on the floor of the elevator. I pick this person up and the doors closed when they opened I carried this person to their room and got them on 02 while another clusterhead administered a shot of Imitrex......All was cool very soon. That was the first time I saw anyone have a cluster, we were like a pit crew at Indy. ;D ..................................jonny |

Jonny, I can't imagine that person being in any better hands than that of some fellow clusterheads. It was probably better treatment than any freakin' er ever gave. Jim |

Title: Re: Thank you all for your help and ........ Post by Drk^Angel on Apr 17th, 2003, 9:30pm In the past... Whenever I was asked about CH, I gave them a copy of Simon's letter to read. Recently, I gave away the copy I had to someone I work with that has been diagnosed with CH, so I guess I'm going to have to print up a new copy. PFDAN.............................. Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Thank you all for your help and ........ Post by Callico_Kid on Apr 17th, 2003, 11:57pm Glad to hear the beast is gone. Hopefully for good! As for explaining it to someone who has never experienced CH it is impossable. How do you explain Hip Hop to a deaf man? (I couldn't think of a worse equivalent ;D) I think Drk^Angel's use of Simon's letter is the best, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Stay PF jc |
