WOW!! Holy Crap! By that I mean; Jeepers! What complete and total honesty and sincerity to open yourself up on this board to complete strangers like that. I am indeed impressed. You told US of your personal life. You told US of your fight with not only the demon, but about your fight with Cancer and your relationship. Again; Holy Crap! As I have said many, many, many times; you are a tough broad.
If it wasn’t for you and DJ, I would never have had the opportunity to meet people that suffer from Cluster Headaches just like me. I thank you for that. I thank DJ for feeling alone with Clusters. I thank him for building a web-site devoted completely to Clusters so that he would not feel alone. DJ; I’m sorry dude, but I can’t stop thinking that you are some kind of God.
Elaine, thank you for coming to see me and my family. Thank you for persuading other Cluster sufferers to make the trip too. It was an experience that my family and I will always remember. Maybe WE all walked away from OUR meeting with a clearer understanding of not only Clusters, but of human compassion.
Thank you for confirming to everyone that I am indeed an idiot. Thank you for explaining that I like the “F” word. Please remember that I don’t use that word in front of children. I wish you wouldn’t have told people that I am “kind and sweet”. I have tried so hard to be perceived as an ass-hole with a HUGE opinion. (DJ please archive this post right away). Maybe people will forget what Elaine said about me.
I KNOW how you feel Elaine. I too, love this message board and the people that post comments each and every day. Be Well. I miss you.
Dave
