Bernadette,
Hang on babe. CH hasn't killed anyone that I've ever heard of and I'm a 30 year sufferer. There were times I wished it would kill me just to stop the pain.
It has caused people to commit suicide. When I first visited the board back in December, there was a post from a guys sister telling us that the guy had blown his brains out. Now, I don't know if you're the religious type, I am. Suicide is a sin. If I killed myself would I go to hell just to find out that it consists of one continious CH on the 10 level? Ain't gonna risk that!!!! Besides, I couldn't do that to my family. You're not gonna do it either!!!!!
Stick with the people on the web site. Keep sharing your concerns and let us help hold you up. That's what we're here for. My cluster ended 4 months ago and I still visit the site every day. I feel a special bond to you fellow sufferers. We're one big, unhappy, family. You keep trying. Try the water, the exercise, the neck manipulation, every medication on the site, meditation, etc. You keep going until you have it beat.
Good luck to ya.
Luv, Bob
