you say you had your first bout in May...there are folks here who have been battling the beast non-stop for upwards of twenty years. By non-stop, I mean chronic - not episodic. The definition of chronic means that there is no remission longer than a 2 week period in the space of a year.
You say you are in your second cycle (I think) now. What meds are you on? Have you been diagnosed by a neurologist? How many attacks a day are you having? Are they waking you from your sleep?
There are some amazingly strong people here who really WANT to help you, if you will just slow down a little and tell us how you need us to help. We have a huge arsenal of cluster weapons and maybe we can give you a hand if you let us know what you are looking for?
If you're just looking for a shoulder, we've got those too.
