by trade I am an engineer and like to be precise in a short time span my ex wife became bipolar and her chemical imbalance was treated with a ton of medications using the guess factor that led her into a violent rage, a divorce was necessary to protect my remaining children, my son with his Crohn's was hospitalized several times, not due to his disease, but due to medicine reactions, the same with me with the clusters, used to pitch medications that I had a bad reaction to only to see another doctor and repeat the same medication, found it more logical to keep track so now toss the meds in a drawer with notes. It's a terrible thing to have three people in one family with conditions that are totally non-scientific in nature, once had a beautiful wife and six children and was considered the ideal family by many, but these conditions changed all that, can deal with the Crohn's and the clusters, but not the mental disease, my own personal rule for medications is the absolute minimum, since my accident and leg damage, cannot pace anymore with a cluster as that would put a trauma headache on top of it, had to learn and lie down, use the oxygen, relax, and submit to the pain, was hard to do, but found it more effective than fighting the pain.
