Barry I think you'd be sorry you said that as my partner, Steve's motto is "we're here because there's beer' 
Not exactly sure where we'll be in Feb either as we are just going where the mood takes us, sort of south when it's hot and more north when it's cold. We hope to start about the 16th Sept from here and head through the Simpson.
Cheers,
Jacqs

Gday all
Lizzie, The neuro I saw in Sydney is Dr Ronald Joffe Ph +61 2 94384599. Apparently my GP told me he is head honcho in Aust re headaches. I'll say he knew about Cluster HAs, so thats 1 up on most doctors. Seriously he was good and had knowledge of sufferings of CHers.
There is going to be a bottle of vodka to take care of too when Brians down here. 
PF to you all
Paul

Beaut idea, Paul, but I've gotta admit to previous problems.
First time, I used a syringe to inject a bottle of vodka into half a dozen chilled oranges and ate the lot. Went to sleep just near the public toilets in Darlinghurst and woke up with a really sore bottom.
The next time I used lemons. Dozed off just next to the public toilets at Redfern station and, sure enough, my bottom was especially sore in the morning. Purely in the interests of science I tried injecting chilled grapefruit, caught forty winks round the back of the public toilets on the Strand in Townsville, and couldn't sit down for a week!
The vodka's fine, mate, just easy on the mixer.

Brian,
Steve wanted to know if when you woke up from your vodka induced dreamtime, you had a handfull of change as well as a sore bottom. Could be the start of a lucrative career!
When we are up your way expect a call to you and Denny M if you are willing to give me your phone number.
Cheers, Jacqs

Steve's a pimp?
Tell him watch out or I'll have my good friend Paul send him CH by fax. He's been warned.

Hey Guys,
I can hardly believe it but I have been PF for over 2 weeks now. Didn't want to say anything till I was sure but it seems like I might be in remission. I stopped the Verap 3 weeks ago and have had no ill effects from doing so!
Wow, it sure is a fantastic feeling and who knows how long it will last but I'm enjoying it while it does.
I'm now waving my magic wand for heaps of PF time for everyone else.
Cheers,
Jacqs

WOOO-HOOOOO!!! And Filbert's welcome to the ashes if it means but one day of real life for CHeads world-wide.
We never like to speak too soon, of course, so I'd still stay wary of opening any attachments from Paul.
All the bloody best, mate, and we'll have one tonight to your health.
B & D.

Hey Jacqs
Wonderful News!!! I'm keeping fingers & toes crossed - not to mention praying like crazy that this remission is REAL for you! PF & Happy travels ahead.
Are you going to be able to keep in touch while you're on the road? It'd be great if we could meet up somewhere. We'll be on Dauan Is. at least until early Dec. and whether or not we come back here depends on a whole lot of things.
I'm really enjoying this part of the board. Don't contribute much, but happy to be entertained by all the Bullshit. (Brian has a PhD in it - and years of practical experience when he was a bush-guide in Far North Qld!)
A Phillipino lass I worked with some years ago, on meeting Brian for the first time, turned to me and said'"No wonder you don't hab telabishon at home. You don't need! You got Salty". Whoops - I've just divulged a past nickname. I may not be forgiven for this!
Anyway, Jacqs, please stay PF
Love & Blessings
Den

 Hi all
I found this site about a month or two ago when my GP thought that I may have CHs. Since then they now think its more like chronic paroxysmal hemicrania.(CPH)
I'm from Sydney or more perecisly Merrylands. Its good to know there are those more close to home, good for the support not so that you suffer with CH. I have been placed on Indocid caps and suppositries(YUK). They take the edge off but dont leave me pain free. I hope you dont mind me being here as I dont have CH but there are no support sites for CPH. The headaches are a little similar but not as sever as CH from what I gather. But they do come in clusters, up to 10 or so a day. Its only been about 3-4 months since I first got them so I dont know if they will remain cronic or not as yet. They are reducing in frequency and I now have had some days(2or3) pain free but they come back again like a bad smell. Dont know whether O2 would work for me, it hasnt been brought up since the nerologist said its more like CPH. Something to think about if they get worse I suppose. Im no stranger to chronic illnesses as I have had Chronic fatigue syndrom for around 14 years. I guess you have to keep your chin up or you will go mad. Its good to see both Paul and Jacqs are pain free, I hope that remains for a long long time. Well take care all. Hope to get to know you better TCSmiley.......Tracey

G'day Smiley, and welcome to the nut hut. The even more betterer news is that Kate's come through the tunnel, too, and is out the other side looking forward to a proper life.
Sorry about being a little slow replying to you, but the hours I work are punishing and I go to an ex-mate's place of a Friday night for a cooling libation. I'm crook, mate, fair dinkum crook. Gunna die for sure.
If you're reading this, Blocky, you're barred for LIFE!!!
As for your little problem, Trace, you're probably in the best place ever to find out more about it. I've seen it bandied about here a few times particularly as it's a CH mimic and lots of people are misdiagnosed and treated wrongly as a result. It'll be well worth your time browsing around and asking questions, there's just so much information here and people who understand.
During the meanwhile, best of British and make sure you stay in touch with all of us except Paul aka Typhoid Mary.
Cheers and beers,
Brian up north.
