We need to reinforce the positive side of this site and show our new folks that it is not all about trolls and flamewars.  There is good in this site and for the most part we are all better in some way, shape, form or fashion because of someone we met here.

What I want to know is this...

Who have you met through this site that has helped you the most or has shown you a kindness and what did they do (if it can be divulged ;)   .)

Let's give props to our fellow CH'rs!!

My goodness, Donna

There are so many.   I feel bad by not saying each and every one.   :'(

Jackie is my CH Angel, been here for me since day one.
Unconditional love, and she loved me when I was unlovable.   :-*

I can never forget Stevegeebe, Tracey, Edna and BarbD.
These 4 are the first CH sufferer's I met in person, December 2003, New Orleans, Louisiana.    :-*

Thanks (again) to DJ...for had it not been for his pain, I would've fought this battle alone.

What you did was help me sort things out and support me through a tumultous time, and I  love you & so many here.

There are truly to many to thank, DJ especially for creating this site that has saved my life and some other honorable mentions are JeffB, Nani, Alchemy, LeLimey I know there are so many more.
Even some people that have made me mad at times in posts have still been there when I needed them so a big thanks to everyone.

Post by Jimi on Aug 14th, 2006, 4:57pm
I'm like Kevin. Wayyyy to many to mention. But those that know that I admire, respect, love *fill in the blank*, KNOW that I feel that way. And that includes all that I have met in Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas and Milwaukee. Once we meet in person, the race, creed, color or political and religious orientation does not seem to matter. I wish everyone would meet in person. Much of the hurtful posts would cease.

I have been privlieged to meet so many.   The bond that forms between those of us who suffer is awesome.

I hope that as sufferer's, we take the time to genuinely thank those on this site who are supporters.

My personal thanks to Margi, Ree, Woobie, Cathi, Cootie and Patty.  

Your presence here has made a real difference in my life.

I've learned so much here.and I still have soo much to learn!
I've learned about an affliction that, somehow, has brought people together from all over this world, as a family. I've come to care a great deal for this family.
I wouldn't dare begin to name names! Too many, and  waaayy too much risk that I might forget someone.

For the most part, it's everyone.and it's my fondest desire to meet each and every one of you here and have the chance to  talk to you, face to face.
Suffice it to say, thank you Deej..you've created an amazing family-and thank you for letting me be here and learn and grow with Clusterville!

Now, everyone! Group hug!!!!!!!!!


Oh, and Melly? I'd thank you(in advance) to PUHLEEZ change the Trivia Quiz back to something that is NOT Star-Trek and Football centric....I'm failing miserably

You know who you are.

Friends I haven't met yet.

I've never met another CH'r in person, but it's been the next best thing so far.  Hope to be around a while.

(Have I passed the vetting process?)   [smiley=huh.gif]   ;)

This whole famn damily is special to me.  You have all given me the information my docs and I needed to fight the beast and a shoulder to lean on when the battles were too tough to handle on my own.  I love you all.

That being said, Linda Howell will always have a special place in my heart.  She was the first person to talk to me one on one when I stumbled in here in March 2004.  

Linda, Frank (Jeepgun), DD, Svenn, KOP, Bill, Pegg and others have called me when I was on the ropes and ready to throw in the towel.

Several people, who shall remain nameless (but you know who you are and so do I), have come to my rescue when I was at my wits end and needed more "info."  

So many others with your words of encouragement over my past year working for OUCH have kept me going strong when I felt like giving up.

I know there are names that I am missing and I am so very sorry that I am.  I can't wait to see everyone I have ever met again and everyone I have yet to meet for the first time.  How about Richmond, Virginia in July 2007?

Without Bob P, this board would have been dull at times.  And for all the years you've kept my blood pressure up :D I really do love you even if you are "opionated".

DJ of course (that goes without saying, but needs to be said more often).

Meeting so many of you in person has been a great experience and I treasure all the memories. (Geezz, I'm getting mushy and that just ain't in character for me at all). You all know who you are and that I love each of you.

Truthfully, my list ismainly the old guard:
Elaine, Barb, Drummer, DJ, Hub, Paco, Margi.  There is a person who sends me a happy birthday every year on my sobriety date.

When I came here.....looking for anything to help save Blake, I went to the old chat.  Jonny, Kip (God bless him), Paco and Navygunner took my hand and helped me.  I will never, ever forget those few first days.  Jonny is the only one still on the board and I know he's still gonna hold my hand if I need him....there lots of comfort in know that.  Now....there are so many willing to help.  It's a good thing.

oh so many!  Like Bob said, the old guard helped us SO much:  (in no particular order, just as my memory chugs through it)  DJ, BobP, Drummer, Hub, Paco, wee Jackie Boyd, Jonny, Elaine, ChewyDon, 'Bama, Mast, Mel, BarbD, BobG, BobJ, DocJerry, DocGreg, Jackie, Ree, Ted, Slammy, EastCoastClusterhead, Den, Georgia, Monique, Thomas, ChetHedden, Riccardo, Simon, Helen, PeterM, Flash, PinkSharkMark, Pinkfloyd, Les Charlton, Kip, Todd...I'm sure I've forgotten many.

But the one that has taught me the most about how to keep my head while those amongst us are losing theirs - Jackie.  Without her....well, I just don't want to go there.   Ree, too, she's been my angel - they've both taught me the basics of Supporter Art 101 as well as The Care and Feeding of a Clusterhead (and how NOT to have to the put the pillow over his face).  :)

DJ...made it all possible and wants no credit

Jonny....First CHead I met. In my darkest hour he gave me an O2 tank & I saw light at the end of the tunnel. Have a great friend for life.

Linda & Elaine....I love them

Roxy...In my other darkest hour, a shitload of Trex shots appeared in my mailbox. I love her & miss her too. Where are ya T?

Zazi...Love and miss her too. Another magical shitload of Trex arrived from half way across the globe. Saved my ass.   Also have a couple of incredible pieces of Art hanging on my wall that Zazi did. Where are ya Zazaroo?

Mr. Happy & Don... They got me ROTFLMAO when I hadn't even cracked a smile in the 2 years I went undiganosed. Two of the funniest bastards out there.

Pepperoo, Cootie....It's a lot harder being a supporter than a CHead...I bow to you.  :-*

A couple of my personal heros...Cat and Ree. Cat does more for us CHeads thay any of us probably realizes and gets no credit.  Ree has her boys in Iraq and other god forsaken places, has migranes, has a CHead of her own to care for and she is here every day to support us. Love you both.  :-* :-*

And of course Rickyshot.....I'm about to become her love slave  ;;D   :-*

Since I've finally met a bunch of you at Milcon, this is a toughie.  But

RacerNC (Bill) - the very first clusterhead I ever met - we had a lovely lunch and he PM's me and calls me, just to see how I'm doing.  He's has said that if I need anything he has, it's mine if I needed it.  A true friend.

Nani - who took the time (not to mention the long distance charges) to call me and talk with me about CH, using Kudzu, the fear and depression.  She's been my rock from day one.

Helen - who I finally got to meet at Milcon.  I like to think of her as the "B" lady - you know "bloody this", "blimey that", and of course, "that's "brilliant".  Every time she posts, I feel reassured by her knowledge, and happy because, with everything she goes through herself, plus Jasper, she still keeps her humor, her compassion, and her sanity.  God bless you, Helen.

Jonny - who will literally drive me crazy because I'm still trying to learn when he's just joking, or when he's serious.  Jonny, who has answered every question about CH I've ever asked, with knowledge from experience.  Jonny, who directed me to where I could find stuff that might help my CH.  Jonny - the self-appointed King (but I'm not arguing that one)

Alienspacebabe (Lizzie) - and her beautiful daughter, Teresa, who both made me so welcome at Milcon.  And, especially Lizzie who forgave me (I hope) or knocking on her hotel door when the "do not disturb" sign was out.

Jasmyn - my Milcon roomie.  Her zest for life, her lovely accent, filled with humor, her devotion to trying to bring CH remedies to her country.  I thoroughly enjoyed our time together at Milcon.

And then there's DJ - who if it weren't for his starting this website, I don't know if I would be here on this great earth, at all.  Thank you, DJ, and bless you.

And the list could go on through another 50 posts on the people I met at Milcon.  Jackie (who traded buying vodka and tonics with me), Gator and his lovely wife Jane, who welcomed me, Wildhaus (Michael) and Svenn who gave me perspectives from other countries, and Gena - the first clusterhead that I ever saw getting hit (I was profoundly shaken seeing it), and Chuck - the proud new grandpa, who through his constant battle, finds joy in life.  

Just going to my first CH convention was awesome in so many ways.  I felt at home, with family.  

My thanks to all of you.

Sandy

My husband, who is the most humble person I know on this planet, won't take credit where credit is deserved.  [smiley=bow.gif]  He said he started this board out of selffish reasons...wanting to see if he was the only person in this world to suffer from such a horrible thing.  He wanted to find other people to support him, not the other way around.  However, in his heart you will find pride from this site, knowing that he has helped 10,000+ people find what makes them feel better...friends, medical information, advice, support and so much more.  He always says, "I was in the right place, at the right time, and just did something about it."  Little did he know at the time that it would end up where it is today, with the multiple organizations spinning off of it.  "Someone" had a bigger plan for him and his heart.  We are all blessed to have this wonderful site and DJ as the creator of it.

Meeting the people that I did from this site was a very humbling experience and I now understand why DJ feels the way he does about each and everyone of you.  With many of you telling me that my husband saved your lives, that was overwhelming to me and helped me realized just how thankful I am to be a part of such a wonderful thing.  :-*  You all make a difference on this board, contributing uniquely, and from the heart with the best interest of everyone in mind.

YOU ALL are the reason why this site is what it is today.  And with that said you all deserve the "props".

There are so many that I won't start listing them. I know that some very important people would be forgotten and I couldn't forgive myself if I offended any of them.

Everybody here makes this place what it is and I have been helped countless times in the past by all of you.

Props to ALL of the CHers and supporters here. I owe you all my sanity (What is left of it).

The supporters are a huge part of this place to just be here and just be a shoulder to cry on.

We are a very versatile group of people and I always find something interesting when I come here.

Top of the list would be DJ for creating this site.

Next up would be the pioneers of ch.com back in '98.  We were a small group back then. Drummer was the first person with CH I ever talked to.  

To all those in between that have made CH.com what it is today.

Finally, to (in my mind) the most important people @ CH.com.  The Newbies.  Yep, newbies.  CH.com exists so that hopefully they will not have to go through CHell like I and so many others did without proper diagnosis, meds and support.

I agree, Paul - very well said.  I sure wish there was a ch.com twenty years ago!

THANK YOU, DJ!!

Great post Paul...

I remember when I posted one day that I was at home. I got a call from Riccardo in Italy asking if I was ok. He knew me well enough to "pick up" that I was getting hit really bad (I just don't stay home from work often - guess that gave it away.) Even with the language barrier, the "I love you" came across loud and clear.

In reverance to Bob P. I won't tell the garage story "again" but those first Clusterheads I met are people I've never forgotten. Elaine and I are the only ones still posting, but the memory of the others still lingers.

And the first convention in Vegas - all 36 of us were in awe of each other. lcbob and I could only cry when we met. Wonder what happened to him? I miss the little twirp.

And all the others who've been here in the past and those that will join us in the future -- Those that aren't around any more are missed and thought about with smiles. Those that are still around, well.... what can I say.

Unless you've been here, a person just can't comprehend the word "family" when referring to our Clusterheads bro/sis, but those of us who frequent this board just "know" that we are one big family.

Ok, mush time over. Back to my bitchy self.... ;)

Hugs BD

There are so many. Eric for saving my sanity. Andrea for  listening. Matt, Bob (blue),Thomas and Billy J, you  have the kindest souls. Bec will always have a special place in my heart.  Root, Paul and Mike(yes, you), thank you for getting my habit off the ground ;). And Paul, thanks for being such a good friend. Pegg, you're like a sis to me. Chuck, I admire the hell out of you. I've never seen anyone get hit so hard, so often, and bounce back from it so fast. You are incredible! To the ones who sent care packages... thank you. Jim, thank YOU. Blake, you are too cool, and Jackie, I want to be like you when I grow up. :)

And to my special supporter. You know who you are. Thank you, I couldn't do it without you.


There are so many I haven't mentioned. I learn something from everyone, and have learned from all of you. I am glad I've met everyone I have, and I look forward to meeting the rest of you. This is truly family.

Speaking of Pegg....where the hell is she?

Anyone know?

She's taking a break. With her new job, and her head acting up, she's doing all she can to keep distractions down so as to concentrate on her head.

Don't worry, she's fine and she'll be back.

Jonny, I would assume Peggs very busy with her new job. :-/


I am with Bill on this one, there will be no list for me.  Each and every person on here is important to me, whether I know you or not.  You're all what makes ch.com, well, ch.com!  Thanks everyone for being in the community. ;;D
