Title: New at this
Post by cbad07 on Aug 1st, 2007, 5:29pm
just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am 51 years old and have had clusters for a little over 11years.
I am in about mid cycle right now. Is any one out there from New Mexico. Nice to have a place to find new info and to talk to someone who understands.

Welcome to the board, a bit west of you in San Diego! When you gte a chance, run your regimen by us, what you use that works, what hasn't worked etc.

I'm 47, episodic for about 30 years. I use lithium as a prevent, with oxygen and the occasional imitrex jab as an abort!

And I agree, it's awesome to have a board full of people who don't need any explanations of what a cluster headache is! ;;D

Amazing. 11yeras of trying to explain too everyone what a cluster headache is and here  I do not have to. Sad to realize how many people are affected by this. These headaches cost me my first marriage of 26 years.
Have been married for over two years and this woman is wonderful. Can you imagine that anyone would marry a clusterhead. And she knew it when I asked her to marry me.

I lucked out. Married her before I knew I was defective! She was the one who pushed me for diagnosis and has been my supporter ever since. In September, if she hasn't tired of me, we'll celebrate 25 years! there is nothing to compare to a good supporter!

Hi cb, and welcome to Clusterville. You bring that lovely wife on here too so we can meet her. There are a lot of supporters who come on, and they are not only welcome, they are HONORED here.

I'm east  in VA but still here if ya want to just yap sometime. You'll find some great info here, as well as good company and a lot of people who are always willing to welcome you as a new family member.

All the best,
Jen

Hello Cbad07,

I'm afraid that I'm a bit out of the range of NM, I'd be glad to talk with you if you PM me with your number.

Welcome to the home of the cluster afflicted tribe.

Glad I found this site. Had a bad sunday, mised work yesterday but am much better today. I have given up on prescription meds because they just dont work. 02 doesnt do me any good at all Red Bull does help if I drink it soon enough. Tried to play golf sunday and made it 13 holes before my wife had to haul me home.

Thank you all for being there

Dont think I will be back on this board again any time soon.
The PAIN is too bad

Feeling better.  Has been a rough week. tried hbwr seeds for the second time saturday night and have not had a HA since I believe that if you can find the right dosing the things will work.  Any input would be helpfull


Thanks
