...how to educate parents and friends, but how to understand that people CANNOT understand our pain, too many years of "headaches" and "migraines" created a hard background into people's brain. And this damned name cluster HEADACHE complete the scene .....
My wife try to understand, my mother (a migraine sufferer, NOT!). Some friends tolerate, some laugh, some cry with me, but NO ONE KNOWS!!!
If you HAVE NOT the CH, you CANNOT understand!
Yes, we can exclude some supporters, but they understand only BY-LOVE and FAITH (Ciao Margi!) not BY-EXPERIENCE.
And yes, on the other hand, there are hubby and wife that explode in disgusting scenes, (you know well) but, if you have had CH, they have exploded for other reasons, any reason!)
Remember a song of Carly Simon in the 70's....All by myself.... :-)
Love and PFNAD
(oh BTW, tell your mother I'm BALD!!!!)
