  1. wow! Lots of Texans here....I'm in San Angelo.
  2. That's it? No other stories out there? I don't know about the others, but I'm really interested in ages and circumstances of when these f***ing things started for people.
  3. I was about 34 and stationed in Hawaii. I'd been boogy boarding at Sunset Beach (not bragging...just passing on the story) and was on my way back to base when I got hit. And I mean HIT. Worst pain I'd ever had. I pulled over to the side of the road, got out of the car, and rocked back and forth on my knees (and puked) beside the car. Then it went away! I thought, well that was weird...I must be dehydrated. I didn't have another for nearly 5 years. I had retired from the Air Force by then and was driving back from Abilene when I got hit again. Same scenario. This time I thought, "well, this is it. I've got a brain tumor. I'll be dead in a year or two." I went to see a local doc and, unlike most of the experiences here, he nailed it right on the first try. As a matter of fact, his exact words were "you're having cluster headaches. You poor bastard." I'd never heard of them and had to look them up. I look back on how I felt with that second hit and kinda laugh...I thought for sure it was over for me. There was no way I could have pain like that without it being a tumor or cancer or some such.
  4. I'm coming to this thread late (did I just say 'coming'?) but, you can add me to the list of "no ways!" I don't think there's any way in hell I could perform when I'm getting hit. However, the shot I'm using (Sumavel) is a vasoconstrictor (sp?). If it works quickly enough to quiet The Beast, the side effects can be felt for a while afterwards.
