Title: ADDICTED TO THE BOARD
Post by CHILDINSIDE on Feb 26^th, 2003, 9:48pm

;D SINCE I FOUND THIS SITE, I HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO IT. I HAVE CRAVED TO TALK TO OTHER CH'S. WHERE I GO TO SCHOOL, PEOPLE SEE MY RIGHT DROOPED EYE (WHICH IS OFTEN), AND THEY ASSUME THAT I HAVE A SWOLLEN EYE FROM A FIGHT, ETC. I TRY TO EXPLAIN, AND THEY ACT LIKE "TAKE AN ASPRIN AND KEEP GOING". MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF CLUSTERHEADACHES. I WEAR SUNGLASSES MOST OF THE TIME NOW (I HAVE AN EYE DROOP AT LEAST 25 OF THE 30 DAYS OF THE MONTH). MY FRIENDS UNDERSTAND, AND DO NOT STARE AT MY EYE WHEN IT IS WATERING. IF MY NOSR STARTS RUNNING, THEY HAND ME A NAPKIN, AND KEEP TALKING. THEY DO THEIR BEST TO HELP ME KEEP UP WITH LIFE. BUT IT IS STILL GOOD FOR ME TO TALK TO SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE PAIN IS LIKE.
THANK YOU MELISSA (CHILDINSIDE) ;D

Welcome aboard and you're right. I tried to stay away once but I gave up and here I am more than two years later. Anyway, sorry you have this horror. It can be hard to explain but Simon's letter here is a good thing to print out for your friends. Good luck and stick around.

I'm addicted to Charlie's freaky method to be painfree spiritually where you have to give up your life to God.

Hi Melissa,
Glad you found us too. I couldnt believe it when I came upon this place. I thought I was the only person in the world to be going thru this because I had never known anyone else with CH. I thought I was a freak but now so happy to know there are a whole bunch of other freaks just like me. ;D

I, Too, am addicted to this board. And I'm just a silly supporter. I don't have that pain... but I'm here whenever I can be.. and as often as I can be. I am addicted.. I admit it. I need a 12-step program.

You think THIS is bad?? Try going to the chat room HSG - and not getting addicted to THAT! HA! Try that!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Tina :-*

HEY MELISSA..........WELCOME

See it's ok to be excited and yell sometimes ;)

Addicted, gee I could not imagine ;)

Glad you have found us and please check out our chatting ground

www.headachesupportgroups.com

Cuz holy moly if you think you're addicted here, well, I won't even go there.....LOL

You mention of friends who DON'T look at you like the freak and do try understanding, perhaps you could lead them here also so that they too could learn of the hell you endure. Sounds like they really care and that's always good to have too.

Read lots here and stick around, if you're already getting a "response" about our caps locked (lol) means you're gonna do fine with all us other crazies here, especially Charlie!!!!

pf wishes,
EDNA

Oops...used my caps.....not a big deal....just don't say you like Mr. Rogers or you will have jonny over here rippen' on ya!
