Title: What is worse than Clusters ?
Post by UnsolvedEquation on Aug 17th, 2003, 11:20pm
If you're a true clusterhead, then you know there is no pain worse than clusters. Again...I'm the lucky one. Been chronic for 3 years and now I have kidney stones... again. If my heads not poundin' ... my back is killin' me. I feel like a pain posterchild !! WTF is going on? Why me?

Third degree burns over 80 percent of your body
death
your family murdered
lung cancer
The rape of your child
Or your wife
Falling bombs
Hunger
Dehydration
Hitler
Emphizema
Shitloads of things are worse. And once you accept that once you'll do better by it.

You're right Ted..but all that seems so distant when you feel like there's a knife in your eye five times a day. Sometimes nothing seems to matter. Can you understand that ?

5X a day used to be a light (and eventually an average, and now a bad) day for me. So, I can understand. My advice is to see what I'm saying. The other choice is to drowned in it.

CH is pretty shitty. Coupled with stones is no picnic. Still.......there are so many things. All that Ted said should be enough for you though.

Trade ya.

Guess I just need to vent sometimes. Seems like everyone I know is always healthy and I am always in pain. I've been 'chronic' for 3 years now and this is my second bout with stones in the last 9 months. My life has dimenished to a darkened bedroom with a stack of Imitrex injections.  I couldn't see how anyone would want to trade me places.

That's cool. Venting is no problem. It probably is one of the better things you can do. Many people would want to trade places with you though. My brother, for one. The people who were not suicidal but chose to jump off their respective twin tower for two. Really Unsolved. I know what you're going through and you have to keep things in perspective for yourself or you're going to do yourself in. Maybe not suicide but you'll do yourself in just the same. No PROLONGED self-pitying. Or we'll kick you off the pity pot for you. :-)

The first shit after having hemeroids removed!

Seriously though, the kidney stones could probably be avoided by drinking more water, and CH is really bad but people do suffer from lots worse chronic pain than CH.

i was not in a laughy mood, but that was priceless Jmorgan  ;D

Unsolved E,

many years ago I worked in a cancer clinic for terminal patients, I think they would not even think to swap places with ANYone...

Take wisdom from Ted's words, see it in perspective, if you need to roar and rage then do so, but try not to lose yourself in it, you are a fighter don't ever forget that... If you have dealt with CH you can deal with ANYthing, you know you have to...

wish you best and PFDAN

I think everyone is entitled to there own lill pity party...when things get overwhelming it tends ta happen. Seems with pity parties tho ya have ta recognize yer doin it to yerself and then drag yerself out of it.....and friends like the people here and at home can have a big part in the towing....even if it is jus 'bein there' ta listen.  Seems ta help oddly nuff sumtimes ta 'step out' a while then step back in with a different view. Pam that steps in and out alot

Having some total jackass pull across in front of me from the left lane just as I am about to get onto the Interstate ramp after I've waited patiently in a long ass right hand lane.  And the BMW drivin' ass hole has a cell phone in his ass hole hand.  

Well maybe not...?
