Some Hope...My Leap Year Birthday @ 40

Hello friends,
I just turned 40 today on Leap Year...Somebody told me that that the total number of U.S leap year people is about 200,000 out of 300,000,000 (about 0.07%). They also say CH affects about 69 out of 100,000 people. So I am one of about 138 out of 300 Million in this country!
I suffer from the Beast...but I am here to say I recently passed my one year anniversary cluster free for the first time in 21 years. I turned 40 today. When the person told me how rare it was for me to be a Leap Year Baby my first thought was about all of you. This is the group people should know/learn about how small it is but what an ""Insert your word here"" thing CH is. I want the medical industry to get more involved. I can't even come to words to describe it.
I don't think about getting it again...if it happens I will deal like I have been for 21 years. I think of all of you who currently suffer. I have changed some habits but I also don't want to publish private stuff (perceptions, weight...etc) but just maybe the "diminish with age" thing is true for some.
I will try to contribute to the boards more but almost feel guilty posting as a CH free person...I can also be reached at saintinthecity@yahoo.com or www.davespics.com
be well all

Happy Belated Birthday Dave! You really need to check in more often 
Happy to hear the beast is giving you a break. I hope it lasts forever.
Great pics BTW. You've got some serious talent.
