I send my love to all of you clusterheads.Love of family &friends is the main way I've endured.I'm a 50 yr. old Episcopal priest.I gave up my parish that I'd served 8 yrs. and applied for disability status. I'd had chronic attacks for 1 year when I stepped down & had had episodic clstrs for 19 yrs.I expect to hear a favorable decision from The Church Pension soon. Anyone else sucessful with getting disabled status where you work?Along with The Pain, I miss my work of 20 yrs.[I was a pschotherapist in the prison system prior to seminary.]Imiss my people terribly,my wife & kids are GREAT, but I'm lonely as hell.I've got tears flowing now because I'm in contact with people like me who've taken some huge losses endured the unendurable,and are still drawing breath.Though I've wishedto die,I still love my life.I just wish I didn't have these #%*@ headaches!So thanks for reading. PEACE.
