Title: If you could pass your CH to another
Post by AussieBrian on Apr 11^th, 2008, 7:18am

Would you?

I've seen our Prime Minister make certain budgetary cuts in health care and thought, hmmm, a two-minute Kip8 might make him change his mind about the need for dedicated health-proffessionals on the ground.

These thoughts have only ever happened during times I've been PF.

My last cycle was pretty tough, though I like to believe I coped with it quite well, yet even so I considered a Kip4 might be a nice little wake-up call to certain world leaders regarding climate change, AIDS, Iraq, poverty, drugs and whales.

As always, it finished with a K10 fit to pierce my ear drums and I honestly wouldn't wish that on Osama bin Laden.

Perhaps it's just me.

I'd pass along a 30 minute KIP 9 to everyone who has told me I should rest and meditate.

I would pass along a kip 4 to a certain little hemroid at my work place. He is an "in your face" type who is trying for years to get on medical leave as he doesn't sleep well.

Hmmm, maybe up that to a kip 5 for him. He rolls his eye's ::) anytime I mention CH's. >:(

All politicians, Insurance companies, pedaphiles, and anyone who has said Again? or try this diet etc...Just a kip 4 would shut em all up never mind the worst ones and don't forget to give them 8 weeks of this shit daily, Plug em with the meds that kill as well as "help" us. that should do the trick.

Yes, give it to any and all of the child abusers ! Kip 10 all round for them at 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 8 pm, 11pm and a couple more through the night too for good measure.

Nope, none of them. Our luck would be that they would get it, and then look for a community of other sufferers and then our little online community would be full of paedophiles, criminals, child abusers and pricks.

Hey Brew, Didn't know we lived in the same neighborhood. My Mr. Sunshine neighbor (mean drunk) threatened to shoot me, my kids, and my dogs. I wish a kip 9 on him everytime he gets drunk and starts screaming at his wife and stepson. (I can hear him 100 yards away with my windows and doors closed)

I guess I would pass it on to EVERYONE working in the Food and drug administration and all senators, governors and congressmen. But they would only be allowed to have chronic Kip 8-9 and 10's for 3 years and no more than 5 a day lasting for an hour each. ;)

Post by Tara Ann on Apr 11^th, 2008, 12:04pm

I would not want anyone to have CH permantly. But as for someone that is not understanding about CH, I would not mind them having a minute or so of a K9 and explaining the time frame of what a full blown life as a Clusterhead is..................the fear, the lack of a life that can happen, on and on. If they are intelligent enough to understand that is.

On the other hand. It may be a waste of time and breathe to explain after a minute or so of acute pain like that.

Sooooo maybe not. I know I don't want to waste too much more time explaining the extent CH has on my life to someone stupid. Hmmmm this thread is quite thought provoking.

I'll say it again!
I'd give mine to people who say, "oh, I know what you mean. I have migraines"

Only a kip 5 for 5 minutes (maybe 10 minutes!)

Besides what everyone else has said here about Pedophiles and Terrorists...I'd give 1 full min. of a KIP 10 to every Dr. who refused to give 02 to one of us. At about the 45 second mark...I'd hand him an e-tank and a mask and ask him if he'd like to re-think that decision.

Title: Re: If you could pass your CH to another
Post by Charlotte on Apr 11^th, 2008, 3:06pm

I changed my mind about not passing it to someone. I would like to pass a 10 for 1 minute to the Dr who said I had migraines and wouldn't have a problem if I obeyed him, and turned his back and walked away. Only a minute, that should do it.

My answer didn't mean I was above anyone.

Basically I feel that it is not my place to "punish" others with a CH for their ignorance. IMO, that is up to a higher power...

Title: Re: If you could pass your CH to another
Post by Annette on Apr 11^th, 2008, 5:20pm

I dont somehow view wishing CH on someone as a "punishment", maybe more as an experience so that they understand what pain and suffering is and therefore will become more compassionate.

Edited to add: Maybe my view is different because I am not a CHer, but I sure have wished CH on myself many many times if that would take away the pain for someone I love. So I dont see it as a punishment.

Maybe its just me .

Oh, well that's not exactly taking the "law" into your own hands, then.

I take the law into my hands when I use clusterbuster treatments, but not when I call people out.

When a "Dr" says they take the law into their own hands, I start imagining some very unsettling stuff. ::)

Count me as a "no" too. I just can't wish this on anyone.

Giving someone CH wouldn't solve the problem of uneducated doctors, insurance companies, even our wonderful government leaders. I think it should be mandatory for each one of these lovely people attend an OUCH convention and witness attack after attack after attack.

Now, that's an education!

I couldn't agree more Sandy. Just one technical session where one after another has to leave in pain, or sitting in the lobby with Cluster Chuck while he tears at his hair is enough of an education to humble anyone. Problem is they wouldn't come because they don't care. That Dr. that Charlotte had, that did this:

Great idea, Sandy! :)

And I suppose us Finnish clusterheads should invite the chairwoman of Finland's Migraine Association (yes, CH sufferers are part of that in here) to attend Finnish clusterhead's meeting this fall... Who knows, maybe the chairwoman, a MD and MP/senator and member of health care committee, would learn a thing or two about life with ch if she doesn't know about it already.

I have to ask - would all this shit have started up AGAIN if I had said "I take the law into my own hands"?

I'm a mum, it's what I do. Constantly! Every damn one of us uses that expression and very few of us would mean we were vigilantes by it.

My own doctor is forever saying "well, the guidelines are this but we know that won't work so I'll take the law into my own hands and do that"

I've used the expression in work and home situations. I'm willing to bet that everyone else has done the same at some point in their lives. It's just something people say. Like "I could murder a cup of coffee" or "I wish a house would drop on his head" Blimey, if we're going to get chased by the accuracy police then I'll be the first against the wall with a blindfold!

What if George or Guiseppi had said they would happily give people who drink and drive a quick surge? Would you have got in their faces? Or would you accept that when they are here they are just "here". They give work related advice or explanations sometimes too.

I am incredibly pissed off at the moment, I have far more going on in my life that I can or want to have to deal with. I've stayed away from here alot lately because I don't want to take my bad mood out on people who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That being said, I haven't missed here as much as I should have done, it's been quite nice to NOT be here and I'm finding it more and more of a chore to check in rather than a pleasure. If I can feel like this, and you know how much I have taken from this place - then imagine how other's are feeling.

I have to ask - would all this shit have started up AGAIN if I had said "I take the law into my own hands"?

But where would it have gone if we'd have continued down brew's path of taking something else into his own hands....

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Yes i would give a kip 9 to everyone in my doctors office!! the doc, his asst. and even the person who schudles the appt. If my doctor had a kip 9 one time he would certainly be more aware of what this shit is like, and it would also be a nice kick in the ass for him to do the research needed to get some kind of cure, and i know for sure there would be no waiting for my apptments. and lets not forget about my mother in law, but thats another post. coach bill

Ignoring the growing tension in this thread, I decided to briefly check in after a long absence. These are my thoughts on passing CH to another, they are indeed worthless, and I fully realize that the foundation of this topic is whimsical venting.

Nothing spiteful, nasty, mean, or even vengeful - just a taste of reality for all those “professionals” encountered over the years that haven’t a clue and have no intention of getting a clue as to the reality of CH.

No permanent, or long-term affliction, I couldn’t wish this on anyone. I’m thinking just a week… no two concurrent weeks of the sleepless marathon of indescribable pain. Reaching out to other “professionals” that haven’t a clue for treatments that provide little or no hope of relief. Experiencing first-hand, complete exhaustion and frustration of having to continue functioning. Experiencing their mind and body demanding rest that has become impossible, and the unnatural fear of rest/sleep that evolves.

Just a short-term experience with a nightmare t so easily dismissed as a headache. Maybe then we might see true progress on this disorder. Knowing how stupid this sounds, I’ve reached a point where I sometimes wish I had something that killed me rather than subjecting me to a life of torture that so few can comprehend.

Best Wishes,

Tom

Just seeing an attack in person would be enough to make anyone understand how serious it is. I try not to get angry with people who insist a few Motrin or Aleve will do the job.

Before I got CH, I had no idea it even existed or at least had no idea how severe the pain was. The fear of an attack coming on, the fear of losing ones job or ability to function is something you just couldnt understand unless you experienced it for yourself.
