The place was created as a place for CHers & supporters to interact with CHers & supporters. I don't think that anyone who has had something helpful to offer, about CH, has been shunned. Having migrainers or CPHers or TNers posting what they're experiencing and what is working for them doesn't help a CHer. In fact a CHer may waste time trying out a CPH cure rather than one that works on CH. There are quizzes and likns on the left to help people figure out what they have and to direct them to a site that deals with their affliction.
Just trying to keep CH.com a place for CHers. I know that after 30 years of going it alone this place was a real blessing. I love it, I love the people, LOVE YOU GUYS! I personally don't want to hear migrainers telling me how bad they have it or if I take some asprin and lay down in a dark room my headache will go away.
We've become leary over the years. There is a feeling out process of new posters to determine if they are really sufferers we can help and can help us or if they wandered into the wrong place or if they're some poor lost soul just looking for attention. Sorry if offends anyone but I think its a necessary evil.
I think we should go over to Sally's migraines.com and challenge them to a tackle football game!
