Title: Poem
Post by Stephen on Dec 14th, 2008 at 7:06pm
Enduring

It comes without warning and it comes to me fast
I know at the start how long it should last
My legs they do shake and my muscles grow weak
My eyes they lose sight except for the spot that I seek
No longer I walk for I haven't the strength
I have to keep moving, whatever its length
I rock an I craw and I'm aware of its length
I know it will pass, but not through my strength
Time it will pass for I haven't control
I don’t have the power; it's just not my role
I pray to a God I’m not sure I believe
What have I done, why won't you relieve
I despair at the thought of the next one to come
It's a part of my life and it will end with my death
My only one tolerance is I just won't accept death

You put it nicely into words, good job  :).

Now tell us a bit about yourself, how long do you suffer, where are you from, medications etc etc.

I've had clusters for 25 yrs. Perhaps half that time they were chronic. I'm not taking any meds at the moment, though I have verapamil and lithium in the medicine cabinet as well as 2 large tanks of oxygen (I'm Prepare :). I'm originally from Minnesota, now I live in Missouri. I use to come to this site frequently about ten years ago and it was a lifesaver.
