I have been a chronic for years. I have intelligently searched for a cause and cure, to no avail. When I found this board, my hopes were bouyed. Maybe, just maybe, someone had some answer that would help. But it was just another dead end, as for as relief from pain.
The theme is the same as my experience- nothing works. If you do find something that works, it will soon stop working. If something works for someone else for a short time, it may not work for you.
I sit here sick, and in pain. My life is a wreck, because of cluster headaches. What I get from doctors is no hope. What I see here is that no means of relief is available, and is not likely to be.
I have lost much to cluster headaches. Finally, I have lost hope. There is no cure, and will likely be no cure. Not only that, there is no relief, not even short term. I would apologize for being a downer, but I can't apologize for the way I feel. I have fought a good fight. Thanks for listening, but I will leave you guys to your own problems. No, this is no suicide note, but I am going away. I am resigned to live the remainder of my life sick, and in pain. I give up. Uncle!!! Whatever
