Title: Do you think you have a “leonine” appearance
Post by E-Double on Mar 24th, 2005, 6:46pm
I always love how researchers describe CHers as having a Lionine appearance.........Do you ever look in the mirror and think so too?

E2...that's a funny question in lieu of something I received in the mail recently!

Jefferson recently put out their first newsletter, and it is all on cluster headaches.  I won't get into the specifics, but on the whole I thought the newsletter was pretty decent, and I like that they're really starting to focus a lot more on CH.  However, I didn't like the segment of the newsletter on interesting facts about CH or something to that effect.  I don't have the newsletter sitting right in front of me, so I can't quote it directly.

Anyhow one of the things they mentioned was that cluster sufferers have a very leonine appearance.  I brought the newsletter in to my neuro appt because I actually got the newsletter in the mail right before the appt.  I wanted to know why they put in some perpetuating myths!  He said that the leonine appearance is simply to describe the smoker look.  I dunno...not all smokers look the same IMHO!!  I come from a family of them, but I don't personally smoke.

He said the only statement from that collection of "interesting facts" that couldn't hold up in a court was the statement that cluster sufferers have hazel eyes.  I told him that oddly enough, when we were at the convention, we realized that a very large number of us have blue or hazel intense eyes...and even those with brown eyes still had very intensely colored eyes!  The hazel eyes comment was one of the few I would have kept in the list of characteristics, give or take a little modification of the way it was stated!

So anyhow...I definitely don't have a leonine appearance in my opinion!  This dude from West Philly who was a patient at the health district the other day actually pulled me aside and said to me, "You should be on tv.  You have such a babydoll face."  It made me laugh...I think that's because me and my fellow student were the only two young, caucasian girls at the district...and probably in the entire section of the city where we were at!  hehe

Women sometimes refer to their hair as their "mane" (particularly if they have long hair)...

NM on my cluelessness...  E2 told me that Dan had posted a link to the newsletter on the message boards here.  I guess I'll be getting another in the mail soon...they now have one posted for menstrual migraine on the site too, although I haven't checked it out yet.

For those who don't have the site bookmarked or want to check out everything they have on the site...the URL is:

Bugger the leonine look. WTF is up with the orange peel skin thing? WHAT in the Seven Hells of Wotan is orange peel skin? It _obviously_ isn't covered by a patch of hair. The depth of medical reality is elusive, and citric in nature.

Save me.

I don't look like a lion, but am approaching Grizzly Adams status. In the last 3 or 4 years I have put on weight, and the last time I shaved my face was about a week before DavCon back in January. Going bald with this beard, I was told by several people that I look like Tony Soprano. Pissed off and thinking it was an insult, I decided to have them whacked!

Nobody I know would ever describe me as having a Lion-like appearance.  Nor am I a Leo.

Though I have been told that when wet, or when wearing a hat, I look a little bit like a barbie doll without a head ... you know how when you pull the head off, all you get is that little pointed stub?

And no ... I won't post a picture just yet.  I can only say I'm a very tiny woman with a tiny head and I wear my hair really short and spiked.  I have no mane ....  

Does that mean I don't have to have clusters anymore???

Quite my pleasure Rochelle.

I got appts tomorrow, I think I'll go make myself less leonine and also dose again today (day 10 since last 1.00g dose). I have a physical assessment on wednesday to see whay kinda shape I'm in(after back surgery)and I don't need no friggin CH in the middle of my 6 1/2 hour testing period. Physical assessment? I'd say long and lean ;;D (but my buddy Vic calls me "you skinny fuck" but he's phat so that doesn't count....does it?). lmao
