Hey all,
I was just curious if most of you had met one another. The way you all interact( support, joke ,kid, argue, and protect) it is as if you all have been friends forever!

One of my first impressions when beginning here. There's a convention coming up, it'll get thicker.
Jump in anywhere, might get splashed but Chewy doesn't let go of his inflatables so easy and Hap wears his sandals in the pool, with socks.
Hi Jeannie!

Yes Jean, many of us know each other. We have been having yearly conventions for almost 10 years now. Many have visited each other and have become family. This year we will be meeting in Dallas in July. See threads about the Dallas Convention below. There are also a few clusterheads in the St. Louis area as well.

For me, everybody here is pretty much in the category of "good friends that I haven't yet met". Most of that is my bad--but I intend to correct that one day.
On the other hand, I just got off the phone with a lovely lady from Texas, (who hasn't done a lot of bass fishing so far this year) , and that just made my whole day. It probably made my whole week.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Not just friends Jean, family. There is the strongest bond between us all and this place and the love here is truly magical - you'll find out! You just have to come along to a convention or a meet and greet! Clusterville is the best place on earth and the best bit is - where ever we are.. that's clusterville

YEP. I've been to all the conventions and met so many folks and lots of them over and over again.
There are get-togethers such as Davcon every January, and California has had two now..and last year we drove from No. California to Richmond, Va. for the convention and stopped to visit, Jimi and Ruthie in Kentucky, Gator & Jane in Oklahoma, Nani in New Mexico, JDH and midwest Beth(who are in St. Louis, btw) and Leesa and Dave in Tennessee.
Lots of us keep track of what's going on in each others life besides CH...AND, more than just a few have hooked up, married or met the man or woman of their dreams here.
I have to ditto what others have said. We really are a family here. And now you are too. St. Louis isn't that far from Dallas, Jean.

I even run the "Clusterhead B&B" in England if you fancy a trip over Jean LOL You won't be the first clusterheads who have come to stay with me and mine and you won't be the last. I love it! I've been to conventions, meet and greets, hospital appointments, hospital VISITS.. the lot! On both sides of the pond at that.
Actually I think Im the only clusterhead to have cooked for clusterheads on both sides of the pond and despite the rumours - no one has died!

Jean, there is NOTHING like meeting a fellow clusterhead in person! I have met over a hundred of these brain damaged whackos, and look forward to meeting hundreds more!
It is the one place where you can get hit, and not worry about what people think of you. You WON'T have to put up with one of us saying, "Oh, it is JUST a headache! Quit being so melodramatic!"
I was SO nervous when I went to meet the first batch of axe murderers clusterheads! BUT, it went FANTASTIC! I don't regret a moment of it! Even when I got hit in the middle of the chat fest, in the restaurant.
Since then I have been to many gatherings, and have gotten hit in virtually every one of them, and no one thought it strange. They just let me do my thing, and then just welcomed me back after the beast left. It has been the bestest of times when we get together!
I went about 24 years before meeting my first fellow whacko sufferer. The bind is instantaneous, and lasts forever.
I can remember some of the more memorable meetings in person VERY well! Seems to me I remember meeting this one feisty, short blond babe, I think she is all of three feet nothing inches tall, at the airport. I saw her walking up, and the first words I said to her, before even being introduced to her was, "Who the fuck are YOU?" Heehee!!!
Now THAT was a memorable first time meeting! LOL! NOW, I can't go to a convention without that short shaver being there and bugging the snot outta me! (BTW, I love her dearly for just being HER!) (Just don't tell her I said that!)
Anyhow, in answer to your question, YES, many of us have met in person. But many more have never met, in person. Many of us regularly call each other on the phone, too. Our common freakiness condition transcends any other differences.
Do whatever you can to meet fellow sufferers! You will NEVER regret it! (Unless that short lil blond shows up)

The first time my husband Dave met some of the guys from Boston it made him feel like his secret illness was real... for so long people treated him like they just didnt believe or understand his pain...
We have only been to one convention but even before that I felt that the people here are the best friends that I have, and with a common bond, and a goal to end this pain that we call Cluster Headache...
Be well and pain free

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Oh well ...
But what am I to expect? You ARE a mere female ... and a BLOND one, at that! (it's been a LONG time since I picked on you!)
