Demonic possession?

[lp3]

I have often wondered if chs are a form of demonic possession. No I am not religious and yes I am serious. Anyone else have thoughts on this cause I know damn well tha in my case prayer does not help. 

[Bejeeber]

To me belief in demonic possession is the stuff of Salem Witch Trials, Dark Ages etc., so nope I don't personally believe CHs are a form of demonic possession.

If I did believe in it though, I would think prayerwould help, and O2, etc. wouldn't?

Literally? No.

Figuratively? Yes. Many have referred to their CH as a demon, the beast, etc.

Like my buddy bejeeber said i don't think so . If it was o2 wouldn't work triptans wouldn't work !!!! So i think you can forget about that 1 buddy

True - I too have been happy on occasion to refer to the beast as a demon.

I sure act like I'm possessed during an attack sometimes LOL..Curse words randomly flying out of my mouth, odd leg jerks etc. However, I'm fully aware of what's going on so I would have to say no. Wish I was then it would be simple, we could all go get an exorcism and call it good;)

LOL between this typical behavior during a hit, and our tendency to personalize CH as a beast or demon, I guess I can't blame anyone for considering literal demonic possession. 

At least when they remake the Exorcist we should be hired on as consultants/producers for the possession scenes.

...i get it...there were times when an attack/cycle seemed so malevolent, intentional, designed and implacable that the thought of the beast as "entity" was nearly overwhelming. didn't wanna go there, but it served as a convenient anger sponge.  eventually learned to direct the anger toward collecting the knowledge, tools and strategies for battling "the beast".....

Love the term "anger sponge". I seriously need a stash of those!! I must admit that I have often thought of CH as some sort of cruel punishment for something I did wrong.. So I suppose the thought of possession is not far from that...Maybe our minds just want so badly to believe that somehow, someway it's something other than a neurological un-curable issue. I find that I prefer the worm in the nose theory I read on here while poking around...Who knows, maybe one day a cure will be just a shot away...

Odd.... I seriously had this song in my mind seconds after my post!

[Bejeeber]

The most haunting song ever created right there (IMO). Stones at their peak, with the cool, and just passed, Charlie Watts on drums.

I'll admit this is something I still cling to...speaking of demons.....as a way of justifying the existence of CH for myself, that I thoroughly deserved it for past evils committed (cruel behavior as a teenager, etc.), but while ruminating on this I also I like to add in there that I've paid the piper at this point and it's OK for the piper to now leave quietly!

Ok that was flippin funny.. I've been spiking all day and depressed because I thought I was done, (out of cycle) and that just made me laugh HARD.. 

[Shaun brearley]

Yea funny . Same here Bosco thought I'd come out if a rouge cycle but the demon has shown it ugly head again in the middle of busting .maybe it is for past evils committed when younger Bejeeber. I know i was a shit . We should question every CH sufferer , see if we were all little shits  when younger

Denial is a bit@! Too. My parents have verbalized several times the may be a new Doc when we move will have some magic treatments that will stop my CCH or make it better. I am/was shocked they really believe that even w the caliber of Docs I’ve see. With my medical background, that when I tell them there is nothing left besides radical brain surgery (my opinion of Gamma knife), and they think a new neurologist is going to “save me”!

 

my biggest fear is being without O2 and ketamine. I dosed recently and since then I’ve been getting worse. Probably unrelated but not slap backs. It’s been too long. I’m taking a break from dosing and sticking to Vit D, ketamine and oxygen unless another CCH vet has a suggestion...

I have been describing to people for years that CH is the feeling that burning in Hell is. Why did I wonder what that was like when I was a kid? :p

Freud if your parents find this magical doctor (bless them they are only helping) let us all know buddy
