Thanks to DJ's tenancity I am able to post.  I had not only lost my Password but also my Username.  First to all of you, and there are too many to attempt to list, in attendance at the OUCH Convention, whether a Clusterhead or Supporter, thanks for making Julie and me feel so welcome.  From talking with many of you I feel so fortunate that I was diagnosed immediately without having to suffer through many misdiagnosis.  I can't say I was lucky in my treatment, but that is all in the past and I came away from the Convention with a much better understanding of the need and use of O2.  The one thing I did not do at Convention which I feel very much ashamed of is to express to you that I am a Christian and that I get my strengh through my Faith. To you non-believers I am sure this will receive many boos and you are certainly entitled to your believe.  I do not blame God for me or you for that matter for being a Clusterhead.  I have no idea what is God's will or I will ever be cured I continued pray that I will be cured and if not that he give the strengh to endure the pain.  Yes during a horrible hit I do ask God why, but I don't loose faith because I know in the next life there will be no headaches.  Thanks for your indulgence and God Bless you all.  Ernie a/k/a Wishbone.  For those of you not at Convention several people told me I looked like the actor who played the role of Wishbone on old television series Rawhide, hence Wishbone.

It was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife. I count both of you as friends.

We are a diverse group here, each with many beliefs and opinions. I don't believe anyone here would "boo" that fact you rely on your faith, beliefs, and trust in God to cope with CH and life on this earth.

Our group is richer because the two of you are here.

I really enjoyed meeting you and your wife. We had some good talks. I am glad that you took a lot from the convention and hope you will be able to go to the next one as well. You won't be getting any flack from stating your beliefs on this forum Ernie.  We come from many different backgrounds but respect everyones belief.

It was wonderful to meet you and your very lovely wife Julie, I hope to meet you both again one day :) :)

I am a christian too wishbone and have said those same prayers and cried those same tears. I too know and look foward to the day when our Lord will free us from this and till then, his will not ours. If I can help ease the pain of one person here then i feel i have brought glory to his name.
I promise I won't get preachy to everyone! my focus here is to learn share and help. the bros and sisters i have a common bond with in pain and suffering.

Hello Ernie,

So glad you made it over to ch.com.  It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you and Julie at the convention.  I hope to meet you again someday.

Take care and pf wishes to you!
Beth

Ernie I loved having the chance to meet you and Julie - would you have her email me or pm me with her email address please as I was daft enough to give her mine but not take hers!! DUH!! (I know, I know - I AM as daft as I look!!)

Looking forward to seeing more of you both

I remember seeing you at the convention. Didn't get a chance to chat.

But, as a spiritually challenged clusterhead, I'm certain that your beliefs have harmed me as much as my disbelief has harmed you. Say what you feel. Contrary to the opinions of some in my past, I won't burst into flames at the mention of the God word. Maybe a little fire if you drag me into a church...

If there really is an afterlife, somebody is in for an ass kickin' when I get there.

Such lovely folks you both are, Ernie.  It was indeed or please to meet and visit with you and Julie at the convention.

Hope we get to see you both again.

Be well....

Much Love,
Jackie

Ernie and Julie

You were both a delight. And as others have said - you will NOT get any flack over being religious (a lot of us are -- sometimes it's hard to see thru us, but we are). I enjoyed visiting with you both and Julie is absolutely beautiful (I really hate to say that but she is :) ).

As far as the Wishbone thing -- I think it was "proven" - YOU DO LOOK JUST LIKE HIM!!! The next wagon-train -- You're elected COOK!! :) :)

Seriously, everyone who was at convention is richer for having met you guys and hope you'll be back every year.... I personally have lots of hugs waiting for you...

Hugs BD
