My first CH episode lasted 12 weeks. At least I think it's over, pain free for one week, though a few subtle tinges have reared their ugly head.
While this site has been invaluable to me in having a healthy mindset to get through the bad and the worst, now I'm comtemplating how to make the best of the good days allocated to me before another episode hits.
I feel like the squirrel getting ready for winter. I need to put as many nuts in the tree as I can before the darkness comes back.
On the other hand, I'd like to kid myself that they'll never come back. Part of me would like to say, Clint, you're healed! No more of that misery. A normal future for you! But logic tells me not to be that foolish.
How do the rest of you maximize the good times? Is it even healthy to look at it that way, or is the thought that the Phantom Menace will return in the not too distant future too depressing? How do you get ready for the next round, or do you not think about it until it jumps on you again?
