There are many people on this board who do not have cluster headaches, people who love us clusterheads, people who give uncoditional understanding and support, people who I am in awe of. As a clusterhead, I don't have a choice in fighting this beast - I can't walk away. All I can do is try to manage the pain and keep looking for that illusive cure. But you supporters, you have a choice. The beast does not have to have his fine winding tendrils strangling your heart. And yet you stay. You fight beside us. You carry us when we are too torn and tattered. You love. You give strength and courage to keep fighting. You search for something to help us, to relieve our pain. I can think of nothing more lovely. You truly are beautiful people, beautiful, appreciated people who stay with us when we scream, when we bash our heads, when we sit and rock, when we try to hide our pain, when we cry in the night. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what you do is recognized, admired, needed, and loved. So, thank you.
Peace and love,
Georgia
