Hello all,
I've noticed alot of messages lately about donations about the creation and upkeep of this site.
I can assure you, this site was not built to make money. It was built by this 'normal cluster suffer' stictly because of the fact that I was so aggrivated I could not find any information about our condition...not only on the internet...but from the countless physicians that I've seen over the years.
I am just a normal guy who suffers from a condition that has absolutely ruled my life for over 14 years. I don't care what anyone says...only those of us that suffer from this CURSE can truely understand the benifits that this site provides.
Yes, I do absorb all of the costs of the site out of my own pocket every month, but believe me...the tears that flow from my eyes reading the posts from other sufferers from around the world on a daily basis and knowing that this site has made a difference in other peoples lives is more than enough to cover the cost of paying the bill of keeping the site up! I feel the same as most of you. Just knowing that I am not alone is priceless!
If you are visiting this site from a company that would like to advertise on this site and would like to help cover some of the costs, feel free to send me a message and we can talk. If you are a cluster headache sufferer who has stumbled across the site, don't worry about it. Just keep reading and know you are not alone!
Sincerely...thank you all!
DJ
