I'd kill for a tall glass of Sam Adams right now!
(I think this weekend might be the time, after 10 weeks of ch's, I got two full nights sleep and three days relief. I hope everyone gets to this "light at the end of hell's tunnel" soon). I used to drink like a fish, no hangovers, never even had simple headaches. Then old age (about 23) started to set in. I still can't mix beer, wine, hard drinks. But that is about when I also started getting the clusters. That was 15 years ago. I will NOT drink ANY alcohol during my eppisodes. I got lucky a few times, which didn't help me in making a link, but as the 10.0 richter aches hit after drinking even half a bottle, I wised up fast. It's not worth it. Nothing's worth it. Ride it out and meanwhile I'll hopefully have a toast to all of you this Friday, wishing you all could be there, pain free too.
