Actually I know I am only cluster-free for a unspecific time.
But I do watch what I eat, because I know chineses food WILL (not COULD)Trigger one.
So when I eat chinese food (seems I got masochistic tendencies), I make
sure to have the injection ready at hand.
And I do bother wether I smoke or not and what I eat. You know why?
It makes me feel physically better. With being in an neverending cycle I fell into
a depressive fatigue syndrom (not the CFS). My Dr. in the clinic told me, that this is
often the case with people with chronical pain.
The right food and lifestyle can get me at least out of this. Since I am back from the
clinic I started to change my food, my lifestyle.
I do some sports again and it is fun to me. I feel healthier with not smoking. I got energy
I even did not have before the last cycle started. I just feel GOOD!
That is why I watch what I eat and not to smoke.
But I agree that I do not do it because of the Clusters, because after two weeks out of
the clinic the shadows reappear, when I forget my medication.
They will be back and kick me in the head, so much is for sure, but I won't let them get
me so down again! Now I am really ready to fight!
Peinfree times to all,
Lars
