Title: Thank God...I'm Episodic
Post by Jimmy_B on Dec 27^th, 2003, 11:41am

I was just reading some of the posts...some funny, some poignant, some up-lifting, & some downright sad...& I just got to thinking that I've been (not pain-free) but cluster-free for the last 4 months.

How quickly the thought of the agony leaves us when we are in this joyous state. I almost begin to believe they'll never come back & I'll be cluster-free forever. But, of course, that's only wishful thinking. But I'll enjoy the time while it's available. Continue to do what I can to help our cluster buddies who aren't so lucky, and just thank God I'm episodic.

Jim

I've been cycle free for over two years now. Every once in awhile I'll spend a couple of days in the shadows.

Nice little reminder that the commuter train is just around the bend while I'm picking daiseys on the tracks.

Well I wish I wasn't anything, I wish I didn't have to be here at all... But since I am and do... I'll just make the best of it "I'll get by with a little help from my friends...."

Sweet Thomas, really nice. And Jimmy, know where you coming from being an episodic. But, as we well know, no true cluster head here begrudges ANY pain free time on another buddy.

So, hang with us and support those that are not having pf times as you do now. Our chronic pals need us.

well wishes,
EDNA

For damn sure, CH is the worst pain I've ever had.

I too, am episodic. Was talking to a chronic sufferer one day, and he said.....at least being chronic, you know you are gonna get hit. You don't have to stand around and wait.....it's gonna hit. Just the opposite with us episodics. When out of cycle, we do tend to kinda let the thoughts slide. Then, when we least expect it, the beast strikes again.

I have been pf 109 days........but I do still give some thought to the return of the beast. However, it would be ok with me if he never returned!

It is heartbreaking to read the posts of the chronics. It is terrible for me to think that I have friends who suffer daily from this.

Even though I feel helpless......I, like you, Jimmy, can only hope that by staying and supporting those that I love will somehow make their pain easier.
