Sad note...
Apr 30^th, 2012 at 11:06am

I had some sad news from friends in Gladewater yesterday morning and I'm trying to digest it..

Apparently one of my friend's old classmates had a daughter suffering from CH (they didn't broadcast it or ask for help) and she committed suicide Sat. night.

Now he's been around me enough to know what they are but this shocked the devil out of him... "I knew how bad you said they were, but I just didn't realize they were THIS bad..."

I'm sorry folks, but when this happens I take it personal.. If I'd only known MAYBE I could have done something to change the outcome.. This is THREE suicides in Gladewater that I know about (and Gladewater only has a population of about 6000).. how many are we missing?

And I don't have the answer -- It just upsets me to no end when this happens.. I urge everyone to reach out to other CHers... we're the ONLY ones who UNDERSTAND the pain and all that goes with it.. If we can prevent this from happening to ONE person - then whatever effort we put out is worth it..

I'll get over this one like I have the others in the past, but right now I'm totally upset - it just shouldn't have happened.. Kiss

What don't kill ya, Makes ya stronger!

I've yet to run across anyone but a CHer that has any idea of the pain level. No matter what people say, they really don't get that it has nothing to do with migraines. Only two doctors that I've known get it either. A sad day, Barb. Charlie

Barb, you have made sure this young lady didn't die totally in vain. In 1989 when I was diagnosed the Neuro told me the estimated suicide rate for CH was 25%.

CH destroyed my planned future then, I had been a pilot for 10 yrs and had a lovely wife. Because of CH we decided to have no children.

What I thought were kip 10's at the time, were soon to become true 10's, I lost 2 very good jobs in aviation on the ground because of CH. Several times during true k-10's I almost ended it.

CH made me reduce my time with my daughter (previous) and question my usefulness to her and my wife. In the end I put down the gun for them, not me.

"Suicide Headaches" is a 2nd name for CH for very good reason. The rate is way less today but for most of us the thought does happen. The Kip definition for a true Kip 10 defines it well.
