Longtime visitor... finally joining...
Jun 25^th, 2008 at 4:09pm

Just wanted to post a quick "howdy" before getting back to work.

(Figured I couldn't do much else anyway until this damn "aftershock" headache departs.)

Always get a lift knowing there are so many other folks (you guys) who are going through the same crap as I am.

Quick bio for anyone interested.

Male
born 1970
Iowa resident
Episodic sufferer for 10+ years
Had bad migraines (10+ per month for 15 years) but those are mostly gone now
Currently in my second CH cycle in six months after two years pain free
Just finished up two weeks of Prednisone (pain-free) but getting CH's every few days now that I'm off
Had my first night-time CH a week ago. Now I understand why so many of you are afraid to go to sleep!! (Up until then I always got mine mid-morning unless alcohol-induced)
Married
One child - 18months
Been having burning and dizziness even on pain-free days... Doc sent me in for my first MRI today.

Anyway, that's 'nuff about boring old me. I've been here so many times in the past... and really value this board for moral support and help/information. It's what got me in to get medical help in the first place.

Hope I can be of help to anyone, and I'm sure I'll be asking for help from time to time myself.

Cheers!
