Title: Welcome Ya'll
Post by BarbaraD on Feb 11^th, 2004, 10:32pm

So many new names on the board. Sorry ya'll have to be here, but welcome to your new home - Clusterville USA (and other countries too).

We're all in the same boat and looking for a commonality - haven't found one yet, but we keep trying.

Organization for Understanding Cluster Headaches (OUCH) was formed in 1999 to help us in our plight against the demon. I suggest you all join up and start helping the cause. OUCH has come a long way since it was thought up one night on this board.

Get involved and help us all find a reason for this malady and some day a cure. We're making great strides. Have doctors actually listening to us now and some great support for anyone suffering.

some of the residents here get a little testy some days, but ALWAYS remember, we're all suffering and some days we're going to be a grouch cause we HURT.

Some of us complain a lot and some of us make jokes. Whatever it takes to get thru this - feel free to do it. Nothing you say here has not been said before, so feel free to cry, laugh, or whatever it takes to get you thru the pain. We're all here for you.

Me, I'm chronic and have been here since 1998. It's become a "home" for me in my suffering. It's also saved my life a few times. You get to know the guys here and they become "family" after a little while. You'll find this group does UNDERSTAND what you're going thru.

So pull up a chair and sit a spell. Read all the literature to the left. Take what you need and give your input.

Again, welcome to all you new family members. Sorry you're here, but GLAD you found us.

Hugs to you all,

BD
