Hello Linda,
I understand what your going through, I'm sure we all do but I do truly understand what your saying when you say you are scared. Lately I have been scared myself thinking that the pain is something that will kill me but then I say "Devil your a liar and I am going to make it through this difficult time". Don't get me wrong I know how intense the pain is but when I really look deep within my heart I remember that God will not give me anything that I can't handle. The same goes for you Linda, we are all going through rough and tough times now and many more ahead. God will not give us more than we can handle........Do you believe this? Well I for one know that I have become a stronger person because of CH, it makes me determined to give all I can to people weather they are in my immediate life or not. It makes me want to give the people around me more love and understanding because they too are going through a battle when there loved ones have CH. CH makes me want to live my life to the fullest and never take anything for granted. CH makes me realize how important it is to have a life that is filled with promise and hope.
So Linda I guess what I am trying to say is that I know that the CH are bad and unbearable at times but when I feel them coming on I say or when I am in the middle of an attack, I try to remember what I truly have stored for myself in life and I will not let the CH win. I am a winner and so are you we are going to beat this thing if it takes everything within our power to do so. God Bless you Linda and I hope that you will feel some type of relief. If you ever want to e-mail me please do for me it gets lonely some nights when my husband is at work and I would love to meet more people here on the board.
