I think the same applies here. As Laurence suggested a while back . Cause and Effect . I still haven't forgotten that .
Before , I was always under the impression that , whatever triggered my clusterz , I thought that by stopping all that , I'd be "curing" my own problem .
Little did I realize that if these were actually the reasons why I was clustering, then the ENTIRE WORLD POPULATION wold be suffering from clusters . ONE thing or another seems to be triggering it , so all smokers can't be having clusters , neither all drinkers , so on and so forth .
I was always under the impression that cold weather was the root of my problems . But , through this site I found that it is not . Seems some folks here are sticking their heads in the freezer whereas I would be avoiding the cold like the plague .
Again , we're probably repeating ourselves, but that's why we're here , to constantly remind ourselves of what we're going through and maybe someone who comes upon this site and puts all this information together could maybe find a real cure as opposed to the band aid solutions we're being handed .
I'm having shadows , and lots of it these few days , I've totally tapered off the pred . and Verapamil ,,,hmmm..I hope it eventually works , evaluation at the Neuro on the 28th of July .
I don't know what to tell him . :(
Have a good one folks ..
NO PAIN NO PAIN !!
