I have only checked in here to be nice, I know I burned my bridges with DJ in the past and I assure you my intent is good. Some may know that I was a suicidal mess and went through welding O2 K tanks in under a week. I only signed up to see how some of the old guys from 15 years ago are doing. I had my last bad year 2 summers ago, since then I haven't had to run to the welding supply for O2 for over a year now. Hold in there if you're a newbie to this CH crap, what they say is true and when you hit the 10-15 year mark the CH starts to mellow in my case. I was the worst of the worst, and none of the drugs worked for me except home injections of DHE in my leg. I still to this day get DHE and Imitrex from the VA. I hope Johnny and the rest of the hard core CH suicide squad are still around. Peace and HA free days to you all.

I will tell you all what the neuro eventually found out, the condile hole on my left skull side was small and restricting on the trigeminal nerve, I neglected to forgo brain surgery to file the hole larger as it involved signing a waver of liability if my face was paralyzed like Bells Palsy. I still get short bouts where the nerve acts up but nothing like the suicidal head punching pain and snot running out my nose I endured in the past.

Glad your doing ok.,

Mark.

I do not remember you offhand from those days, but yes - so many of us were suffering badly enough to question the reason for our existence.

Glad to hear that you are doing well!

Marc
