Being 21, only for a few months, it seems to me that I'm the youngest person with CH to have found this site. Everybody else seems to be considerably older. By normal standards, I should have already started my carrer, moved out of the house, have a serious relationship....etc...etc. But I don't. All I do is worry all day about my next headache. I want to be able to go out and do things, clubs, concerts....but everytime I make plans to do something I get a headache and have to cancel. I used to be ok with it but recently my chronic CH has become more frequent and I'm starting to lose my mind. I don't have many friends, by choice, but I don't do much socially. How do other CH sufferers my age deal with the expectations of their age with the ever-present burden of CH? I've been chronic for over two years now, and nothing prevenative works for me. Just O2 when one hits. I'm open for suggestions. Thank for letting me vent, I feel a little better. -Todd A.
