Title: Here's another site memory test ...
Post by ClusterChuck on Nov 4th, 2006, 2:22pm
What was the BEST hint or info or lesson learned from this site?

Mine, that has SAVED my life, was the lesson: Don't dwell on the hits, dwell on the PF time between them!  Deal with the hits, and then enjoy life to the fullest, during the PF time!

That, and the connecting lesson: DON'T let clusters rule or dictate your life!  Live your life as you always have, just pause during the time for the hit, and then get back to what you were doing.

What are your lessons, hints, or information?

Chuck

I can't better what you've said Chuckles - you can be quite eloquent for an old fart sometimes!  :-*

I've learned we all need each other, it takes every single one of us to fight, to raise awareness and to support each other. None of us are more important than anyone else, it takes every little cog to make this machine move and without all of us, we'll stall.

Laugh. Sometimes there is just nothing else you can do, you just have to grit your teeth and get on with it but being here helps.

Whatever is going on for you someone here understands, the light is ALWAYS on thanks to us being worldwide so there is no need to ever, ever feel alone.

If you have a broken toilet seat fix it. Or more'll be hurtin than your head  8) Eh Chuckerooni?!  ;;D

It is NOT CH that defines you.
CH is an affliction-
as Chuck said, life is what you are when you are NOT getting hit! (and, hoooo-boy, Chuck would know......and he demonstrates it!)
Contrary to the hell the beast puts someone thru, CH will not kill you- unless you remember the above.........
Never let yourself get too close to the fire..........
coz.......
Life is good........

Thank you to all of my clusterfriends for demonstrating all of this to me.........

PF GOOD LIFE to all of Clusterville

That there are more drugs than I had imagined used to kill the beast.

Also to not show up at Jonny's house without one of my drag gowns. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/dance2.gif

Don't fear it.  It won't kill you.  Fear and anxiety only makes the perception of the pain worse, if not the pain itself.  Don't worry about it.  It does what it does--accept it, and move on.  CH is only a part of who you are--like brown hair or blue eyes.  It isn't the only thing you are.  

Depend upon your friends who know what you're going through.  They can be your your greatest strength.  Nurture your supporters, and treasure them--they struggle with CH as well.

Best wishes,

George

 What have I learned here.???

  ALL the info.  That I took to my Dr. that made my life easier.

  ALL the info.  That I am now able to share with those who are new to this game.

  All the friends here I have made who have such an impression on me and who w/o having CH I wouldn't even know existed.

  That support for this is just as, if not more important as the drugs we use.

to never relax?????

I think the most important one was
"don't cancel your vacation/dinner/work
   just incase you might get a pain....
  to go ahead and live...defy...fight back..."

to just realize that it isn't "all in our heads"  

oh I forgot the question.... ::)

hugs, :-*

First, It would have to be proper use of oxygen, my doc had no idea.  Then when I was in cycle, I was amazed at what some of the lady supporters here knew about how a cluster cycle works and when I could expect it to end.   Finally, the seeds and how to use them, which eventually ended up on the CB site.   /John

1.  get a new doc
2.  go to a meet and greet
3.  stick around when times are good
4.  the one who gives you the worst time is also the one who sticks their hand out to you first when you're in trouble

WONDEFUL thread Chuck...thank you.

...this is what it's all about...just "being"

You all make a difference in this board, and having each other, I think, makes all the difference in the world!!  Each one of you contributes information to the world through this board...we all touch lives, we just may not realize it at the time.

Words are the most powerful form of expression.

Lets see... I'll start with 5 things

-That I was not insane. That it was really happening.
-That I was not alone.
-To Laugh
-To Vent
-To Live. That the Hit will stop and look around and appreciate what you have right in front of you at the moment.

1. Suck it up.
2. Oxygen.
3. I know more than most docs do about this condition, but none of them are willing to listen.
4. Get involved.

Breathe.

CH won't kill you.

Breathe.

Oxygen is my friend

Breathe.

Injections aren't so bad.

Breathe.

There's always someone who has it worse than you.


did I mention Breathe?  ;;D
