Title: How ya all
Post by legs_akimbo on Jan 26^th, 2009 at 11:23am

Hello to everyone, my name is Michael from Co Mayo Ireland and decided to do a quick search to see if there was any info out there on C.H. and was amazed to immediately discover a whole community :o
I have been suffering since 83 and am 42 now, though fortunately ( or not) have recurrence only every four or five years. I am Married with three children of 12, 6 and 4 and at the moment a couple of weeks into a cycle of C.H. I had no idea it was so common and a crumb of comfort to know that I am not alone, my sympathies are extended to the many of you who suffer far more regularly and significantly more than I do. A great forum, and one from which I will hopefully take a great deal of information.
I would therefor like to extend a warm Hello to all of you here.

Regards

Michael

Hi Michael.
I am a Norwegian woman, 36 years old with two boys 9 and 7, and a girl soon to be 2. I found this place some weeks ago, when I was in my last week with CH. I usually have them 7 weeks every fall, but it lasted much longer the last time. Like you it seems like I have it pretty mild compared to many others, but when we`re in a cycle it`s just very hard. So hang in there. On this forum everyone knows what you go thru.

I.T. :)

Hi Michael and Welcome to Clusterville

Very glad you found us. You've hit the motherlode of CH info/caring/sharing.

What meds are you on? Do you have 02? Works for 70% of us to abort attacks. I can't use triptans, so 02 is my only abortive . . . can usually kill him in minutes if used early-on in the attack.

Keep reading . . . keep asking . . . you're not alone with our beast any more.

Be Safe, PFDANs

Richard
