Hey, Jeremy, we all feel the same.....thanks to DJ, venting does help to know there are more of us out there to know what "living in fear" is like. I remember crying when I first received an email from a fellow sufferer back in 1995. I really don't know if this disorder is as rare as they say it is.....
Good news/bad news is that there's nothing wrong with me physically.....it's JUST PAIN! Yeah, right, just pain! I've gone through episodes without insurance, and I just didn't care if I lost my car or house. I had to have my Imitrex shots! Even oxygen gets costly at the rate we're using it!
Well, fortunately I'm having a mild episode, or Verapamil is working really great this time. But I do know how painful an untreated full-blown CH feels like! Sure thing, venting to fellow sufferers help. Let's keep our chins up and help each other keep sanity.
