The brightside of Clusterheadache
Oct 10^th, 2008 at 3:56am

I know we are all grumbling about our condition and that it is very very bad.

There are some.. well, positive aspects as well:

1. We get to call our condition THE BEAST.. thats pretty cool

2. Our pain tolerance is at an level where we could walk around on broken legs, hardly noticing.

3. The first beer/wine after a cycle breaks.. AHHHH

4. The feeling of euphoria after a kip10

5. Everybody stays the hell out of your way;-)

6. Remission baby YEAH!

7. We get to hang around this place:-)

For those you who are coping with this, being chronic.. you are true heroes!

I like the one about euphoria - that's exactly the word Chris used to describe how he felt after his first really bad headache. He said he was so happy & joyful he felt like crying...I am glad there's something good to come out of it

The rest of your list seems pretty spot on - I am going to print it for my hubby Grin
