ain't a lot we can be real positive about
but this one IS a no if ands or buts:
if you need/want a drink so bad you will knowingly provoke a bad cluster headache to get it you have bigger problems than the headaches
not saying it's bad
am saying it's sick
just like cluster headache
not WRONG
but a challenge to be dealt with
think about it
call it your new year gift to yourself
on the other hand -
there are a lot of people here who would DEARLY love to find a way to rid themselves of even one severe attack
for you to announce that you think risking a serious attack on purpose - for the sake of drinking - to "prove" CH can't ruin your life - is your plan for the new years-
is pretty goddam selfcentered and insensitive-
but then that goes with the drinking life, so no surprise
this is the "I'll show you you can't mess with me, by hurting myself" maneuver
a classic
maybe the old docs were right after all-
you don't have a jutting jaw and smoke a lot by any chance?
