It has come to my attention that a few people do not like Mrs. Hollomans class. That is their right! These people have spent several hours getting clusters worrying about this and several emails to each other discussing this. Emails have been forwarded to me so I know of the discussion. It would have been nice to have been included. The Mrs. Holloman class started as me posting weekend discussions. Then we started joking with it! I will always say laughter is the best medicine. It has helped me a 100 percent. If I couldn’t laugh I would not be me. I am not mad at these people just hurt that they felt it nessary to talk behind my back instead of telling me face to face.
There has been a lot of talk about what this board should be and should not be! We all have our opinions on this. Some people find that talking about clusters 24/7 will help them with their pain. Some want to forget the pain. I have found on this board that clusters not only bring on the worst pain in the world, but some really bad depression. I couldn’t stop people’s pain, so I worked on the depression though email and the board. That’s what this board is a support group for cluster headaches. That’s what it says at the top of this board. It does not say anything about being a discussion group for the causes and cure of cluster headaches. It says SUPPORT! When I am doing Mrs. Hollomans class
There may not be one word in my post about a cluster headache. There may not be any thing about ch.com in them but if it helps one person to smile even for a short while then I am going to do it.
I myself do not care much for the over the head post with words that the average person does not understand. I care a lot about the people that write those post and have a lot of respect for them so I take the time to research their post. I don’t run around and say please stop-posting cause I am not interested. There are hundreds of people who read this board so taste is different.
I do not say this to upset anyone nor do I say it because I am upset I am not. I just want to explain why there is and will be a Mrs. Holloman on this board. Like I said I will call this home until the man that created this site tells me to leave and not before. I will think of this as a support group until it changes.
I gave up something very dear to me on this board one time because people a few people didn’t like it. I regret it and miss it. I will not give this up. There will be times Elaine post but be it Elaine or Mrs. Holloman if I can fit humor in it then I will. If you don’t want to smile don’t open my post!
I leave you with a thought:
This life is a test It is only a test. Had it been an actual life you would have received further instruction on where to go and what to do!
