Title: Help from ITALY
Post by Loris on Jul 30^th, 2003, 6:38am

Hello to everybody, first of all sorry for my English…. My American friend has found this site for me!! I would like to say hello and that I'm glad that I've found this site!

My name is Loris and I live in Aviano (where there is also an American Base), a city in the North-East Italy at 70 km from Venice.

I’m new to the site and I was recently diagnosed as having Cluster Headaches. I’m using Lithium and Verapamil, O2 and Imigran for the attacks, but I would like to speak with someone because I would like to know “more about CH”, is there someone from Italy, from Venice or around that can help me? Pls, let me know.

Thank you for listening and I wish you are pain free all the time.

Loris ;)

I do not know the name or address of the Italian site but I do know that Italy has its own cluster headaches support group. There will be someone along soon with information for you for that site. We do have a couple of regular posters from Italy here on the board.

Oh Mia... I've written nothing bad ;D... "If you need anything just let me now. I have many friends who lives in Aviano, so I'm often there and if you want we can have a dinner. You don't have many chances: I'm the only CH sufferer who lives near you...!!"

Ciao, Zaira
