Hi Don,
True, that when the clusters go on vacation, life is precious. I'm not willing to say "can't" though.
I've been fighting my clusters for 24 years, but I'd prefer to say that they *haven't* been beat yet. While I've taken leave from trying new medications, I have to think that somewhere, someone will find an answer and end to this hell.
One thing that has gotten me through the years of excrutiating pain is the feeling that I've been cheated; I want to know what it's like to live a "normal" life without the daily fear and persistant torture. It's sort of like the little kid who protests,
"hey, I didn't get mine." I'm happy to hear that you're in the "life worth living" mode again. Hope it lasts for a very long time.
