Title: One liners for CH Post by athos12 on Dec 16th, 2003, 8:51pm How have we been treated? What are the most common one liners that people claim about our CH?
I have an idea for the PSA.. I need 6 or 7 REALLY good one liners... and then a compassionate statement about CH... I am working on it, but I need your input.. Thanks, |

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by Little Deb on Dec 16th, 2003, 9:40pm It's just your hormones. It is part of menstration. Women don't get cluster headaches. You just want to get out of work. You just don't want to cook dinner. You have a sinus headache. Take some Claritan. I realize your head hurts, but what do you want me to do for you? You're having a what?? A headache?? Have a seat.....next...... You have a headache? Where does it hurt? If you have never experienced the pain of a cluster headache, you are not qualified to judge, imagine or assume what it must feel like. Just babblin'......little deb |

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by BlueMeanie on Dec 16th, 2003, 10:02pm If you just don't think about it, i'm sure it will go away. If I drink a bunch of beers, I usually get a headache too. Yeah, I know. Migraines are pretty bad. You probably just didn't eat enough. Go get some food. Nobody gets 3-5 headaches a day. |

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by Paigelle on Dec 17th, 2003, 8:48am I better put in my [smiley=twocents.gif] "Take an aspirin" "It's just allergies" "Have you tried Vitamin C, it cures everything" "Take a Valium and relax" "Percocet has to help, it is a pain killer" "Drink some herbal tea" "What have you eaten to cause this" "Are you sure it is not a hangover" Oh and my favorite is "The CT scan didn't show anything, so you can't have that much pain" |

You look very nice today.” “Zaira, it is just a headache!” GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR……. [smiley=furious.gif] |

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by don on Dec 17th, 2003, 12:11pm From a therapist; "Pain is just a concept. You should embrace the pain as being part of you, use the pain to grow" (or something like that) Respose: "Embrace this corkscrew in your eyeball ya freakin whack job". I knew I was screwed the minute I entered the office. 300lb therapist wearing some kinda Shamu smock and a flower in her long braided hair. If that didn't give me a clue the framed photo of Yoko Ono was a cinch. |

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by River_Rat on Dec 17th, 2003, 2:31pm Just a couple: "Drink some beer man, that'll kill it" Then I say no it wont. "How about some whiskey then."

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by Tiannia on Dec 17th, 2003, 4:01pm I think a lot of the women have the same idea. "Cluster Headaches are extremely rare and you are a woman, there is no way in the world that you could possibly have them." "Well we have some Aleve in the Kitchen, maybe you should take that. It took care of my headaches in a jiff." That was at work. Right be fore I got the "Well WHEN you are here and WHEN you are focused , you do a great job." speech. I wanted to smack her in the head. "Well maybe if you got more sleep?" Between the headaches and my 1 year old just not quite sure how to do that? "I've had those a couple of times.... You know maybe you should watch what you eat?"

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by Carl_D on Dec 17th, 2003, 4:59pm "How am I supposed to know that these headaches are that bad?" - Actual quote from a former Neurologist. "Dude, there's nothing wrong with you. It's all in your head. You feel pain because you expect to. Your brain is trained into thinking this way and that is what causes them. Oh, MRI's and CT Scans don't show anything wrong? Well there you go." - Sadly, my drummer "Oh your getting one of your headaches. Would you like to lie down?" - Numerous ignorant people. "Oh, so you mean you were just in agonizing pain a few minutes ago, and now you're all fine? I don't see how that is possible." - A clueless idiot Ah, it never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of mankind. [smiley=headbanger.gif] |

"Oh so & so gets those" BUT....fear not.....word is getting out more....during a Christmas party recently, I was explaining to a friend why I had been basically MIA for the last month.

Title: Re: One liners for CH Post by chronic_chic on Dec 18th, 2003, 2:38pm My neuro still hasn't officially diagnosed CH or CPH yet for me because of the whole "no point in treating" comment...and as they got worse and woke me up more and more and I lost more and more sleep and weight, I refused to call their office because of that comment! However, I will have to have a little chat with him when I go in for admission because he knows a lot about CH and CPH........just that once you are already diagnosed as one headache type, lotsa times they refuse to believe that you can have more than one type or that your symptoms don't fit in a neat-o little box for them. (In my case, I got diagnosed with new daily persistent headache and migraine first.) ~Lizz |

This was 7 hour ER visit... By the time I left, the CH was over, not because of anything he did. On another visit.. they gave me 10 of Nubain... about 10 min later they gave me another 10... There was a miscomunnication and they accidentaly gave me a double dose... This was Dr. Ward again. I had another one call me a liar to my face.. My lawyer wrote him a letter the next day..
