I have been pain free for over two wks, some minor headaches but just little babies! Since being diagnosed with CH 6 or 7 wks ago i lived a nightmare full of pain and rituals. This site has been one ritual,
Though i have not wrote that much, mostly reading and searching i have noticed some of you have been here a long time and you really have been supportive to those of us who have recently joined the "party".
Through it all i found as many of you very recent CH's will soon find . Eventually you will laugh
again. It becomes a personal matter you vs. "IT".
It's all yours, all the support from others can do nothing for you now , you have to come to terms with it so you can make it through the next couple of hrs.
It's exhilirating when the pain begins to leave and
you're still standing you fought the battle and won!,until you have to do it again, and again. I have found the light at the end for now still on verapamil
for a couple of weeks but i think my first cycle is passing after6 weeks.I will continue to come here to see how things are going and share experiences,but my most sincere thank-you to all.
To all the chronics my thoughts are of you.
