Glad to hear from you. I agree with you about family. If it weren't for my Mother, the only one I have at this point - no wife, brothers or sisters girlfriend etc. I wouldn't be able to get through this. In fact, she's the only one in my family that understands, as she's been enduring this with me for 12 years, since I was 15. Everyone else thinks I'm just lazy, crazy, whiny, not "really" sick, mentally ill, or just suffering from "headaches just like everyone else, get over it", but that's another story entirely.
I tried accupuncture maybe 8 years ago. It didn't do anything for me. As a matter of fact, on a few occasions, I had a severe CH attack while I was laying there with the needles in me. But, hey, different people react differently, so I would suggest as with any CH sufferer, to try ANYTHING you feel may help. Even if you just "think" it is helping, that's enough.
Cheers and remission,
Brandon
