I've got a better idea @Bejeeberwe can all go stay @BoscoPiko

Congratulations, Bob Wold! There was never a more deserving recipient of the National Headache Foundation Advocate award.

Bosco, I don't play as often as Jeebs and Shaun, et al, but I can play hard.

First, weird that you get more attacks when you're clear of shadows. But if there is one thing the cluster bunny can be counted on for, it is getting weird, so I guess it can't actually be considered shocking. Second, I wonder if you may be onto something there with the heart racing as shadow killer. I've seen the articles about how fear causes a release of dopamine following, and supposedly that could explain why people love horror movies. Maybe a good dopamine hit is also effective shadow relief? If so we should all sign up for some rodeo bull riding. And heck maybe your mare could tell you were shadowing and was just doing you a solid.

Yep, that would promote a trip to other parts from me too. Your thread, so here is Anatoly. In the sleeping one, I have ruffled his fur. It will stay that way till stroked back down. It Is SOOOO plush! And him with his house bro, Fuzz, my hubby's mutt that we adore!! It shows the difference in 'grey'!! That is the Blue part of the name showing and the guard hairs are showing the sparkle on his face in that shot. His eyes will get bright green in the next few months too! In the profile, you can see the straight nose with no stop. Reminds me of an Egyptian cat! Here is Anatoly T My first riding adventures were on that pony. I was bucked off more than once. Then there was the day she let me ride, cause we were headed to the red clover field. When we got there, she decided to get a lick of salt and I almost lost an eye on the metal roof corner. I was not even school age yet! Also the first time I saw my father run! Left the pony in the field and ran to the truck. That was the day that I found out there is another door into the doctors office!!! You know, for when you have blood running down your face through the dish towel Daddy smacked up there and told me to hold!! They don't want you to scare the other kiddos. Hey, it was body temp and I had no idea I was bleeding all over! We lived over 30 minutes out of town too. Four stitches and I was all set with an ice bag on it.

...that was exactly my first thought...we will never know how MANY...even if it were just one, and it's you...that's pretty damn amazing! .....and a shout out and thank you to NHF for their perceptive recognition. they were formerly known as National Migraine Foundation and have been in the business of saving lives for decades. way back in the 80's they had a newsletter that ALWAYS included an article or forum response about CH. like water in the desert, seemingly the only source of CH widely available to the public. saved my sanity perhaps my life when they provided the blessed OXYGEN information ...and a discussion of the meds then available. i am forever grateful for them, Bob, DJ Johnson....and y'all... ...and oh....COOL tie Bob!!!

Yup. In my little book!!!!

Lol is that all ya gotta do! Slap in brackets

^^^^^^^^^^^^ They need an award for the Most Lives Saved! Bob would be TOP DOG there by a mile! (I wanted to say 'Top Gun, but was concerned about offending someone.) Yes, it is in brackets. so not there if it offends!!!

Most of my attacks come when I am void of shadows. I know shadows have been a warning sign of sorts for many CH sufferers and at times myself as well. I've been pretty vocal on here about my constant problems with shadows but I've noticed that over the last few years I get hit more times when I'm clear than when I have decent discomfort from shadows.. I know this is back assward but... ? I have been having spikes here and there for the last week and some change (not attacks) just a single spike here and there. The spikes are the same for me pain wise as an attack but they are not followed up by a succession of spikes. I felt awful today shadow wise but decided to force myself to ride.. My mare was awful and made my heart race a few times by offering to buck. Maybe the upped heart rate kept me clear I dunno.. Food for thought I guess...

...brackets?....BRACKETS?.....brackets are like badges.....WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BRACKETS!

Me reacting to this news:

Yes they are!! They seem to feel your bad mood! I might have been hanging a 'For Sale' sign around her neck from the sideways bunny hops! I can ride, but have little love for horses due to owning a pretty little Shetland named Princess. She thought she was 'queen' and I was dirt!

WHAT DALLAS DENNY SAID!! If there's ever been a mover and a shaker in the world of matching clusterheads up with impressive relief, it's our dedicated Clusterbusters founder Bob Wold! Today the National Headache Foundation Advocate award, tomorrow the Nobel Peace Prize.
