you will find that some of the very best help can come from truly interested folks, who arent clusterheads themselves, but who have a hell of a lot more experience around CH than you could possibly have at your age (as revealed by your in-dorm comments, etc);
I've had CH for over 25 years, and the 2 most knowledgeable individuals I've encountered were NOT CH sufferers;
my wife knows a lot more about them than 99% of the doctors you'll run into, and I'll bet Cassandra isn't far behind;
my advice earlier to get this checked out fast, because it sounds serious but doesn't sound like CH stands, and I do wish you well -
but I suggest you grow up a little and lose the attitude before you go looking for help - you'll do yourself a big favor -
normally I wouldn't post this rebuke to the public board, but since you refused to provide your email address in the posting form, this is the route required
