This here, this is a big thing, knowing you are not alone, knowing there are people who know exactly what you are talking about and would never say, oh just take an aspirin and lie down or other such nonsense, you know the people here KNOW and you feel less alone. Even in a crowd you can feel isolated by the pain and no one truly knowing.

I don't think anyone should have to go this alone, a leg up and shoulders to stand on play such an enormous part in our survival. Truth be told,there has to be many that lack the support and or comfort of a caring supporter. I hope those that lack this have found the path to this site. My reason for that sentiment is because even with the very loving and supportive husband I have, it just wasn't quite enough to keep me fighting. Knowing and being amongst others like me, in the same pain, the same battle made a huge difference. I'm not 100% why honestly. I suppose it may just be seeing and learning what they have done, gone through and are willing to try that sorta slaps you in the face and makes you wake up to the fact that this is your life, you can either play dead of fight to live happily.. sorry for the book!

I am convinced without the dark humor gallows humor, laughing at the beast in any way, we lose one of our greatest tools to go on. Now as to the Finest of British food and drink, there was a store here, I cannot recall the name but it was a decent sized store chain that specialized in British food and other snacks from the UK my Grandma loved. Have to say, since she was a warbride from England and my mom was born there, coming over on a ship before the war was over, I picked up a taste for much of it. Also, cats all the way, hence my name, my Devon is one of the only things that can reach me in the middle of a 10, can bring a smile despite the pain. So, hold on to any and everything that brings light and humor into your world. Sorry for going a bit deep. Also, maybe if I switched my avi, I might get a better score?

Like everything else here, the kitten hypothesis is just an idea that is being tested by the citizen scientists. Or maybe your image reads as a kitten's eyeball. Or maybe one eyeball = one kitten, but two kittens are more efficacious.

Very true, the fact that leeches are used in modern medicine and there are reasons to put holes in someones head that has no relation to demons. Edit: Also, I have been lied to, apparently I leveled up without the need of kittens, so my entire world view is shattered.

Funny I mentioned a few months ago to family, if I was like this not all that long ago, I would be covered in leeches, cuts, enemas, and have holes drilled in my head to release the demons, so as little answers as we sometimes seem to get, it is far better than we would have got then.

Hi Monica, Sorry you are having a hard time. I don't think there is much of a correlation between CH and bi-polar. Some studies have been done on the subject and it seems that a very low percentage of CH sufferers are afflicted with the disorder (around 6% or so). It seems that migraine has a higher association with bi-polar. Depression however is something that many with CH suffer from, myself included. Either way it couldn't hurt to talk to your doctor about the sort of feelings you are experiencing. ATB

Hi Everyone, The board will be down for a short period on 25 April 2022 starting at 2pm et. We're hoping some of the odd errors many of us get will be resolved by the software updates. Cheers! Jeff

Tuna all the way

A flip side to that, in my mind anyway, is that long ago, some indigenous peoples knew of natural treatments in the form or fungi, cacti, seeds, etc. that are what we are just now re-discovering as exceptionally effective CH preventives. So here's to our best of both worlds: Advancing science plus reconsideration of the long dismissed life saving remedies that grow right at our feet.
