e-mailing Elaine several months ago and her strong belief in God and reading a book called "Achieving Peace of Heart", first off, I have found this site to be too depressing so I have backed off substantially, the theory is, is that if you spend your whole day with negative thoughts, this loads your subconscious mind with negative thoughts that vastly affect your dreams, my dreams were of demons pounding railroad spikes in my eye, this is why I detest the constant use of the words demons, beasts, or whatever in this site. Elaine made the comment about an angel helping her, so this became my constant thought of the day and likewise it has affected my dreams, I still wake at night with clusters, but this time, there is this beautiful angel that is holding my hand with her other hand on my forehead provided me with comfort as I go through with my pain, the terrible pain is still there, but I am not alone and much of the comfort I am receiving and the good feeling that someone cares has a great offset. With my accident, I also had to learn how to submit to the pain, can’t run downstairs and pace madly outside with a cast on, submission works far better than trying to fight it if this makes any sense. I am still medicine free, but depend heavily on my oxygen concentrator to break the headache. I know you are going through hell, and it is not easy to keep a positive attitude, but try and submit and think about your angel being along your side holding your hand, try and concentrate on that warm feeling your angel gives to you, if you worry all day about your nights, your nights will reflect this, and just hope and pray that your pain and suffering will go away, mine have in the past, been cluster free for almost four years after constant headaches for nearly 15 years before that, this last cycle has been going on for six months, but last night I made it through, and maybe tonight I will make it through again, if not, my angel will be there giving comfort. I refuse to worry about it and will devote my day to doing things that are positive. I wish you the very best.
