Title: New to the boards, if not the site...
Post by maximilyun on May 29th, 2006, 12:14am
Hello everyone! New to the boards here, even though I've been a visitor to the site on and off for about seven years now. Good grief, has it been that long?

I was cluster-free for almost a year and a half and actually had deluded myself into thinking maybe, just maybe I'd ditched the whole god-awful mess. Turns out, not so much. Since I'm uninsured, I'm one of the lucky ones! But it could be worse. I usually only get about two a day, and EVERY so often Excedrin actually works as an interrupt! Don't ask how my peptic ulcer is doing. Nine Excedrin a day make for an interesting diet.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and as supportive as my significant other tries to be, it's nice to have a place to go where people really understand my pain. Seems like this latest cycle is really out to prove a point.

I just finished a 2 year remission, and for the umpteenth time I had convinced myself the damned things were gone!! Sorry that you were as wrong as I was. Hope you have a quick easy go of it.

Two years!

GLORIOUS!

It's funny, the little things you forget when you're in remission. I haven't had a beer, glass of wine, shot or any other alcoholic beverage in a month (alcohol and cigarettes are my two triggers). I quit smoking years ago, and I was never a big drinker, but it's a strange feeling going to the bar for a round of karaoke with the gang and drinking ice water all night.

Hi Max, glad you joined us.

After 7 years visiting, you should know all the best preventatives and abortives by now and about O2.  Let us know what you've been using that worked for you.

Hang in there and I hope you get a longer break soon.

For me it's that shot of single barrel on the rocks that I miss the most. And this danged series has been going on since November!!!! 2 years of remission really spoiled me. (and it is a hell of a lot harder to karaoke stone cold sober!!!)
