Title: Relieved to find others.....
Post by LongRunner on Sep 23^rd, 2004, 1:03pm

To all the cluster headache members:
When I began getting these headaches at the age of 17, I wasn't sure what they were. I told myself that the stress of school, work, and sports was the cause and actually beleived it when the went away 4 months later. Unfortunately they came back 8 months after that and I continued to keep them a secret from anyone in fear they would see them as a weakness. I refused to go to the doctor until my junior year of college and finally was diagnosed with CH. Until now, I always felt like the only one who got these headaches and that no one understood how I felt. I have spent countless cold Colorado nights wondering around Colorado Springs sobbing my eyes out wondering, "Why me?" I came to realize that I am going to have to deal with these for as long as they keep coming back and that I can't do it alone. I am very excited to become a member of this site and get to know all of you. I hope to learn as much as I can to help me in the future with these bastard headaches from all of you. Thanks.
