You converting your pain to hate (writing) is understandable - after all, both pain and hate are negative entities. You have a lot to offer Charles and, in turn, there's a lot here to help you. I don't know if this would help, but it might - it's awful easy to get obsessed with the negatives with this condition. Maybe instead of focusing on the negatives, you focus on your positives - such as small victories when you hve less CH than normal for a day, or they're less intense - sort of lookng at the bottle as half full, not half empty...simple, but it might help. We KNOW the pain is incredible and disrupts our lives. I'm sitting here with a KIP 5-6 (has gone up from earlier), knowing I have to go to work soon, and trying to decide which drug would help without impairing my ability to drive to work! For some reason 02 is not helping for more than 10 minutes this morning....Anyway, hang in there dude - we're here for you and we know you're here for any one of us...we all understand.
