Title: Hi, First time, Long time
Post by nutsadamus on Jun 13^th, 2003, 12:04am

Hi everyone,

PLease forgive the long winded post. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I first discovered this site almost 10 years ago, and have been an on and off lurker since. Not sure why I waited so long to participate,(actually I may have posted some time ago while in cycle and just not remembering it now) but here goes
anyway.

I've been runnin with the Devil now (cue Van Halen licks) about 5-6 times a day for the past two weeks. It's like clockwork everyday. Wake up at 4:30am and 7:30am, have a nice little after-lunch pacer at work around 1:00, and I usually like to polish off the workday with another around 4:00 before heading off into the rushour ride back home. After a nice dinner with my lovely wife and 1 year old daughter, they retire infront of the TV while I head upstairs for a cozy brain-beating while my dog follows me around with his head cocked, thinking I've lost my mind. And round and round we go.

My pop was a physician so naturally I told him about my headaches when they started getting unbearable a little over 10 years ago. He told me I was stressed out and that I should quit smoking and start excercizing. Well, he was right about the smoking and exercize, but about a 1000 Advil later, I figured I might need a 2nd opinion about the headaches.

One doctor after another, (I'm sure this is all too familiar), and one dead end prescription after another for the next few years. Finally, I started doing my own research on the web when I fell upon this site. I can't really describe the mixed emotions I felt when reading the "cluster traits" and Kip scale pages. "At last, the truth! Wait... the truth sucks big fucking dick!"

Anyway, here I am, sucking big dick with you all and if nothing else, I'm comforted by the fact that were not alone (even though we're just one in every 700,000).

Hope you all get some sleep,
Nuts

Nuts,

When I left the ER last week (just diagnosed) the Dr. Said, "Don't get despondant, there is hope". Yeah, that's what you want to hear!

After the urge to pull his GDMF'nPOS head off of his MF'nGD neck subsided, I realized that it was not the worst news I could have heard. THERE REALLY IS HOPE. As shity as my cycle is right now, it is not as bad as last year's untreated cycle. And that my friend is WAY more than priceless. You have struck gold here. We are all in your shoes. We will all get through this. We have too. :)
