For our loved ones
Nov 21^st, 2012 at 8:10pm

I believe that I can speak for everyone here that suffers from CH's. I don't mean to over-step and boundaries....if I do. This post is for all of the friends and family who stand by our side attack after attack and were always there after it passed. Thank you! We love you dearly. We have pushed you away, slapped glasses of water/medication out of your hands, and have been rude. We don't mean to lash out at you when you see us hurting and ask if we got a headache. (God I would say horrible things). We don't mean to make you hurt inside because you hear us bawling in the other room. We don't mean to neglect you when we spend half the night trying to comfort other people on this site. Fact is, we know how much we love you and how bad it must hurt to see us like this.I couldn't imagine watching a loved one going through an attack....especially knowing what they are feeling. We salute you for standing there, taking the kids outside, turning off the tv when you are watching your favorite shows. The hurt you must feel when you know that there isn't anything you can do to really comfort us. Thank you for being right there with a dose of meds when we do start to come out of it. Being there with our favorite pillow. We would be alone without you, some of us dead. Nobody here would EVER trade places with you because we know the monster we fear. We are sorry for being grouchy, for walking out a movie early, isolating ourselves at family gatherings when we get attacks. It must be embarrassing for you to have to explain us. It must anger you when people make stupid comments when you are explaining our condition. Thank you for defending us. Most of all.....thank you for never leaving our side!

WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WE SHOW!

I wrote this thread in hopes of letting our supporters know that we do realize what they do for us and are appreciated. My girlfriend is new to CH's and never experienced anyone living with them until about a year ago. She saw me in agonizing pain rolling around on the floor bawling my eyes out. For someone to experience that for the first time.....it must be a terrible sight. For months she was convinced that there MUST be something she could do to help ease my pain. Many times I would walk back into the bedroom and see her in tears. Sometimes I think we forget that these headaches effect everyone around us. And sometimes I think they hurt our supporters more. This is a tough fact to understand when we are in our cycles, but I really think its the truth. Our pain is usually with us for 30 minutes to an hour and a half, but their pain for us seems to fester inside them for the complete duration of our cycles. As you all know, our supporters are priceless......don't ever let them forget how much strength they give us and the immense love that we have for them.
