Title: lost friend
Post by 7punt on Jul 6^th, 2006, 12:59am

I have suffered with clusters for about4 years. I had never heard of them until I started getting them. I thought I had detatched my retna or some other damage to my left eye. Since I cant see well out of that eye, I assumed that was part of the problem. The doctors told me I had cluster headaches. I read this web sight at the time. Soon after that someone was hired, where I work, who also suffered from clusters. He was one of the only people who I knew who could Identify with what I was going through. Until two weeks ago he had been without the clusters. That week he told me he was starting to get pressure and feel out of sorts. He was hpoing that wasn't what it was but we both knew better. Last week our work place was closed for repairs. When I returned to work I learned that Andy had passed away. He lost control of his truck and hit a utility pole. He was in a coma until saturday when they pulled the plug. I was told that he might have lost conciousness at the wheel. There is to be a funeral saturday. I just needed someone to talk to about this. Thanks

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your friend, thats tragic. I wish there was something more I could do or say to help you there.
I can help you with CH though as can the rest of the family here so, when you are ready, tell us more about how it affects you, hit length, cycle length, meds etc and lets see if we can't do something to help you.

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost someone so close. I am pretty new here too, but I have found that everyone here is ready, willing and able to help. It really does help getting through to have people to talk to or if you just need to vent. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Not just a friend but an understanding friend, ouch. Please give us a chance to take his place, at least we understand the CH part of your life. Wishing you peace.

My very deepest sympathies on the loss of your friend. Losses like this are devastating at any time, but the fact that the two of you understood each other so well, make it doubly hard.

The family is here, and we're with you.

Hugs,

Kris

I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy. I to have dealt with the loss of a dear friend and I've found that talking with someone, -even a stranger- really helps. We are all here for you and will do anything we can to help. If you would like to talk, please feel free to message me personally. :'(

I, too, am sorry for your loss. I hope we can help fill that void in your life, now you have thousands who know what the beast can do-and many different ways of coping.
I worry about CHers driving as well, but, consider what it would be like if the beast took away that freedom as well!

All should be reminded-
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE-there are people who worry about you!

Anywhooo, welcome, 7, and please tell us all about you!

Hey 7 very sorry about that and even though I'm a Newbie as well I definitely feel that there are alot of friends here to listen and help in any way possible.

I myself have had a couple of close calls on the freeway with ch, I have been very fortunate for the past 5 or 6 years to have virtually no commute to work.

I do believe you can get some answers here and some relief. Take it easy.
