Title: Quick apology
Post by tarheel03 on Oct 15^th, 2006, 3:30pm

Hi all,

As I've spent a significant amount time on this site over the past week or so, I have really learned a lot (both about CH and about this community). I have re-read my first post a few times ("Will there ever be a cure" ) and wanted to extend a belated apology for asking such a question. Without knowing that this group existed, I often wondered whether there were enough people out there suffering from CH to be able to support a study of the condition - thinking that maybe we were being ignored. I now know that I am incorrect, and I also now understand that the use of word "Cure" is not taken lightly. I wish I could change my initial post's title! So, as they say, hindsight is always 20-20 - and I wanted to extend an apology to you all for starting off on that note. Thank you for your responses just the same, and I promise to be a more informed poster from here on out.

Take care & PF wishes to all!
Meg

I re-read your thread, and it is a thoughtful question presented in a careful way. There is no need for you to apologize.

Also, you are still here, contributing, and holding on to the lifeline.

I aplogize for having "cure" as a trigger word.

There is a great deal of difference between asking whether there will ever be a cure, and saying "I have a cure".

Asking whether there will ever be a cure is not the one that will stir up trouble. ;)

Furthermore, there is a big difference between saying, "I have a cure", and "I'm selling a cure". We get that here, too. The latter posts do not generally end well.

Not to worry. You were askin', not sellin'.

:)

Best wishes,

George

Asking question is fine and dandy. No need to apologise.

The worst thing that can happen when asking a question is the answer No.

In our case, lets hope it is Not yet !

Asking if there will be one is just fine.

Telling us there is and you have it is another.

I ask myself everyday if there will be a cure.

Sometimes that question occurs hourly.

Hi Tarheel!
I came in on the ass end of this thread..... [smiley=laugh.gif], but I have ppl to ask my clusterhead husband......Isn't there a cure for that...it's just headaches!!!?? The poor fools don't have a clue as to what sufferers, or supporters go through!!
Now........I am wondering by your screen name?...Are you from NC? I am a supporter, because my hubby is a clusterhead! I, too, am addicted to this site [smiley=wave.gif]! Welcome to the world of understanding!! Hugs!!

Thanks Ti_Beach! I am not from NC but am a UNC grad...Chapel Hill is a great place to spend 4 years, that's for sure.

Take care and PF wishes to your hubby!
