I agree with Linda - HELL NO. Nobody NEEDs this pain. And if, in a former life, I pissed off anyone - I'M SORRY! Haven't I suffered enough? I promise to be good from now on!
Five years ago I was a happy, healthy human who never even had a headache (except a few hangovers and they don't count!) Today, I'm a wimpy, almost invalid person who can't even do simple things. I went from episodic bouts that I could handle to chronic CHs (almost 2 years) that have whipped me. They've about ruined my life and I don't think anyone deserves this.
Do I feel sorry for myself. You're darn right I do. But I'm angry. This is something I can't CONTROL and for a control freak that's almost as painful as the damn HA.
Childbirth was EASY compared to these things. I KNOW there has to be an answer - and I'm not giving up without a fight! As lc bob says: Pain Free is a Human Right. (or something like that).BD
