DJ,
I don't think there is anything I could say here that hasn't been said by everyone else. But... I'll try. Wink

So I will just say THANK YOU for your service to our Country, and I wish you, Steph, Brandon and Conner all the best in your retirement, and the golden years to come. You have done great things, and may they return to you tenfold.

I remember back when you said you just created this site to see if you could find anyone else who suffered with Clusters. THANK YOU for creating this site over 12 years ago, and bringing all of us who once suffered confused and alone in our unique malady together; letting each of us know we are NOT alone.
Without this site, many of us may still be suffering the ignorance of doctors, and some of us may not still be here today. As iron sharpens iron, this group, as dysfunctional as it can be at times, have learned from one another tips on how to stretch Imitrex, major triggers, o2, alternative therapies and so forth. Had you not created this site, alot of people would be still in the dark and feeling like they are the only ones who have this. I consider you both a hero, and a friend

Peace, Love and Future,
Carl D

Wow... just... wow. I'm very embarrassed to say that this is the first time I've had the opportunity to read this thread.

It humbles me to read all of the nice things you folks have posted to me and my family in this thread. I am honored to have served for the past 22 years protecting and defending this great Nation. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Knowing and sharing with you all for the past 12 years has played a direct role in making me the man I am today and I THANK YOU for that.

I'm looking forward to what the future holds for me and my family, as well as for our online family here on clusterheadaches.com. It's going to be an exciting time!
