Teen Clusterheads Click Here!
Dec 13^th, 2008 at 8:55pm

Hey guys. I'm Felicia and basically I'm the teenage welcome wagon. I've been a supporter since I was 7 and now, almost 10 years later, I'm here at CH.com to help teens who suffer or support some one with CH. I know it's not easy to always understand the adults here, and some times you just don't want to be talked down to. Trust me I been there. So I'm here for the Cluster "kids". It may be easier for you to talk to me than to the others. Anyways, I'm just here to help. Only thing is there's a LOT of posts to go through on here and I just don't have that kind of time. What I'm saying boils down to this: If you want, I'm here to help, listen, whatever. Leave me a message in this thread or shoot me a PM and I promise I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. This is a long fight that you're in for but you've found your way home. That's what this is and it's the first step in your survival with the beast. Welcome to all and hope you're around for a very long time.

You are a sweetheart Felicia. The only teen aroun d here that I am aware of is here...on the CH specific board. He is convinced that narcotics are the way to go. Maybe you can talk to him.

cluster headaches and finals
Dec 9th, 2008, 1:43pm hey i am 18 and have had cluster headaches since i was in the 7th grade, i am now a freshman in college and i have just been hit with another attack. only problem is i have finals this week and reading is well you know. with me the only thing that relives my pain is opiates such as vicoden or stadol injections, fallowed by a injection of steroid and a round of oral steroids. however i am away from my nerologist and am unable to get these shots until after my exams are over and i manage to drive back home. i was woundering if anyone had tips on dealing with the pain with out being on an opiate for the pain but still be able to focus on an exam for 3-6 hours?

Of course JrBrew counts. I've actually talked to him a few times but have since lost touch. Tell him if he would like to talk I will gladly give out email or IM so that we can do so. And Linda I will try to talk to ohioterpes but I can't make any promises. I'm not trying to change people's minds if they don't want to be, I'm just here to make suggestions and refer them to others who know what they're talking about. Whether they listen to me or not is up to them. It's the best I can do.

Felicia, Only DJ or Steph can sticky something like what you're talking about. Being almost PC illiterate...here is what I woul;d suggest.

In the supporters board there is already a thread that is locked under Children as supporters by Margi a long time ago.

Maybe you can copy and paste your welcome wagon post to there. At least it will be there for always.

I will keep note of it and keep adding or bumping it...Hows that?

Thanks Linda. I might post it there too but I would really like to keep it towards the top here so that those who are first coming to the site will find it asap. I think it's important that the people who are probably the most confused, scared, and alone(aka teens) when they find this site get the most help they can as quick as they can.

Better late than never though I suppose! Broken

Hi Felicia,

I love your avatar. I actually have that pinned to my bullitan board in my kitchen......found it years before ch; it holds much more signifigance since the beast invaded my head.

I'm going to talk to my daughter Katie and see if she would be interested in joining the board. She is 18, a Sr in H.S., and not your typical teenager.

Happy New Year!!

Beth

My CH started when I was a teenager (15?), well I still am.

Fortunately now it's pain-free time (although I have other health problems). I am really happy that this stage of my education will be over in like 4 months. I always had the best marks but now it doesn't really matter how good will I write my final exams (equivalent of a-levels), I just want it to be over, as the most of my life during school was about CH...

Beth, I would be thrilled to talk to Katie if she'd like. I'm always here to help. She's more than welcome to join as you well know. And "not your typical teen" is right up my street.

Washed-out, I remember talking to you when you first signed up. I'm afraid with the switch to the new board I lost you some how but it's good to see that you're back. I'm glad that you're doing well and hope you pass your finals with flying colors. It's great to hear from you again.

Please, any one who is a teen or has a teen that has to know our beast, don't be afraid to send them to me. I'm always here to talk, listen, and give advice in any way that I can. Email and IM screen names are ready and willing to be given out for those who need them. One of my new year's resolutions is to help as many teens and "kids" as I can. Clusterkids are tough but they need support too! That's what I'm here for. Happy New Year all!

P.S. DJ or Steph, if you could please, a sticky for this thread would be greatly apperciated. I'd like for as many to find it as possible. Thank you!
