Title: Got to where i can ignore it...
Post by Patrick_A on Aug 14th, 2003, 9:42am
A friend of mine at work asked me why i had all these meds on my tool box. I proceeded to tell him about the CH's even though i didnt really want to. Of course i knew what he was gonna say before i even told him but i let him say it. He told me, Yea, I have some bad headaches sometimes too, but i never had to take prescription meds for it"
Luckily my work partner was there and he proceeded to inform this dude that he didnt have a fugging clue about what a HA was. This dude i work with has seen me full blown 10's before. He proceeded to tell this other guy about them. He referred to the bulging eye like it was something out of a horror movie. That made me feel kind of good to know my friend understands enough to be able to describe it in a way that made sense to this other person.

That's great to hear patrick.  I have a friend like that too....the other night I was talking to her and I said suddenly in the middle of our conversation that I had to go (I hate doing that I feel rude when I have to) because I was getting a headache and she said "Oh no not one of those screamers?!" and I said yeah.  She wished me well and ended our conversation.  I just always think its nice when ppl try to understand my pain and don't belittle it (is that the right word?)

I know I hate it when I have to explain it to people that really won't get it no matter what I say.  Your work buddy sounds like an awesome guy.  It's great that he knows how to put it - must really be a great supporter and understands enough that he can put it through to other people so they get it.

wishing you pfdans
