The bad news is nothing has changed as far as my CH I am still having them back to back and staying up all the time. The good news I have changed Doctors, he has me on lots of medication. He likes our web site, DJ he thinks the way you split up the Imitrex is a great idea. Now as most of you know the first of May I was having a CH and I went outside alone and sat on the patio Floor and did some head banging, knocked me out and my family found me the next morning. I was in the hospital two days. Well the MRI was read wrong. They said I was fine and sent me home. When I talked to all of you and Drummer talked me into going to a Nero. He found I had busted a vein and some blood was around the brain. The doctors and my family have been working like crazy to get the CH under control so I would not have another aneurysm. Two weeks ago my dad had a aneurysm and just so happen my doctor is my dads doctor. Yesterday when the doctor found out that aneurysm run in my family. He told me that he believes I had a aneurysm durning my CH and passed out and hit my head. I did not try to kill myself. To know this was good news to me.
The Great news is even tho my CH have not gotten any better, I am able to handle the pain better thanks to so many of you. Drummer and Laurie for being a punching bag for me everyday and night, DJ has helped me with a few problems, Barbar D, Carla L, Margi and Mike, Nancy, for all the laughter. icbob for late night chats, Bob P, Kip, and Hal, Benitta, Karla and Ted, Linda, and Bill R. Bruce, Jeff, Al, Jack I just can not name everyone that has emailed me and kept me going. Thank you all for everything. Oh I have talked to two people in Ga. from our board Jeff and Al on the phone. Buddy and I are going to have dinner with Jeff this Saturday. Jeff will be the first cluster friend I will get to met face to face. I think it will be great.
Well just wanted to let everyone know what was going on. That I am still here. That I thank each of you for your help.
