While I may not be a real "old-timer" on this board, I have visited this site since January, and consistently since May.
I just don't get it anymore and am finding the board of late has become a battleground personified. As if battling clusterheadaches weren't enough stress, in addition to all the other crap thrown in for good measure, it's become a one upmanship on who's right/wrong, who hurts more, etc. etc.
I just can't believe the hostility toward others, with severe head pain, whatever it's called, being treated like lepers. And God forbid, someone finds a "cure", you'all jump on him/her like fleas on a dog.
Attitude has always been shown to affect a person's outcome in any serious illness. If I had just discovered this board now, instead of 8 months ago, I don't think I would have become a CH.COM regular, because the support and love has become a dialogue of "I'm the boss, so you better listen to me."
I rest my case
