I have been thinking since several negative posts on the board why I keep coming back. I found you all in June. I haven't missed to many days since. Why? I am out of cycle now so why do I continue to come back day after day? The only answer I could come up with was not any one reason. I guess for me I don't want to forget the beast when it's gone. Yes I live life to the fullest and thank God they are gone. But I NEED to continue to fight for a cure or preventative or recignition of Cluster Headaches. I feel I can do that best through here. I feel like this is my family. SO MUCH support is given on this board. For CH and for other reasons. Like any family there are those who disagree with eachother. Those who are closer to others, those that use, those that give, those who pray, those who don't. Some beleave in Meds and some don't. But there is always good information and people give it freely and lovingly, hoping to help the other person. There are those who protect others who are weaker. I hope to be a big part of this site and I hope we find a cure. We just have to! I thank God DJ made this board and I thank God for thee fights and the differences in each of us. It somehow makes this site whole. I never would have dreamed a year ago that I would know others that have CH. Computers are SOOO great. I would love to thank everyone by name but I would be afraid of leaving out a family member and that would be a shame. So I want to Thank each of you for all your parts in my life. I am joining OUCH, I will be here for a long time. So if you need to use me to get though your day, feel free. You did it for me. It's the least I can do for all of you. Love Paula
