Title: Back in the Boat
Post by aprilbee on Apr 25th, 2008, 2:53pm
I've been around lurking lately, but I haven't been posting much.  I've had a 2 year break from CH and it has been WONDERFUL, but now I am paying for it 10 fold!  I'm back in the boat and grabbing all the oars I can at this point...

This time around seems to be defeating me, I'm not sure if its because of the long break, and I forgot how bad CH is, or if the long break has made the CH stronger, either way, life, as I knew it is now over...back to the grind...I really am glad I have you guys to come to..

I feel horrible for not being around as much and being as supportive as I could have been.  I guess I ALMOST forgot how bad this is, I will never stop supporting again, no matter how busy I get, I will always stop by to offer any support I can...

Again, I'm so glad you guys are here, things are very dark right now and just knowing I can come here makes things a little brighter...

Here's to my family... Thank you for being here.   [smiley=hug.gif] [smiley=hug.gif]

The beast strikes again!  Doggone, April, I wish I knew what to say.............. :-/

We're glad to have you here anytime, if you can row out of cycle, then row, if you need to take time away, please do..............but don't lose the benefit of staying up to date, please!

What's your artillery, dear? Got 02? Heard about the taurine drinks? Maybe something new will be working for you.
Meantime, I willl be hoping for a short cycle.
Please, remember, CH does NOT define you-it is a horrible incovenience you deal with- DON'T  let the beast run your life!

Wishing you PF real soon,
Cathi :-*

Hmm April you have nothing to be "sorry" for hon - I know for a fact you've been around plenty in the last two years so don't think you've gone un noticed!

I'm sorry the beast is back, I hope it's a short visit.

We've got your back come what may

Stay strong
love

That sucks April  >:( http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/wah 2.gif

Hold on and pray for a chance to beat the beast into a bloody pulp, run him through a shredder, grind him to a powder and shoot the remains into space...... hopefully through a black hole-created billion year time warp.

Crap!

Tell that jackass that nobody's home and to go the hell away. I mean 2 years and not so much as a postcard? Bugger off to him I say. Give him a redbull and hit him with a tubesock full of woodscrews. Sorry, got a little violent there :o

Hi again, April.  

Ya know, I know for a fact you've been around here plenty in the past two years, and that you've given this place and the people in it your share of good will and help.  

Hope this one is a short cycle, and not too difficult.

All the best,

George

Since I am 2 years new to CH does this mean that eventually I get 2 years off.  I hope so. I can't wait. I was just diagnosed with not CH which I've had for 2 years but also migraines. My brain doesn't know when it is suposed to take a break from one or the other it just keeps on going like the energizer bunny.
I was given a whole bunch of drugs I'm really not sure I want to take. I'm not into them. I picked them up today and I only took one of them but it didn't do much for me. My face is numb and all I have to do right now is wait for the big one to kick in. I plan on kicking it right back like I've been doing.

I'm sorry you have to put up with this crap again. Hopefully you can work through it and look forward to another 2 years off.

Pat

Oh April I'm sorry to hear the beast is back with a vengeance for you!!  I am glad to see you back here, but certainly not under these circumstances!!

Hang in there and lean on us during this dark time!  We'll pull you through!!

Hugz,
Carrie :)
