I USED TO TAKE PLEASURE IN VISITING THIS SITE. Infighting, sexism, vulgar language and character defamation in general and pointedly directed don't add an ounce to my earnest attempts to reduce the pain of my CHs. Creating images whether of an attack or a friend of the family enjoying life during the lulls of attacks does. And, my nickels worth on the doc problems that many of us seem to have follows: Try this. Buy a simple old 35-mm camera and drop a couple bucks at your local camera shop for a manual hand held remote shutter release. Next, if you have $20 bucks left after the previous, ( and imitrex etc,) grab yourself a simple tripod and a roll of fast film. If your new used camera did not come equipped with a working flash, try 800-speed film. Finally, assemble all in front of your most frequented attack retreat. During the first moments of your next attack shoot some photos then take them to your doc. Posting your pics on the board can give others a different view of this whole shenanigan we call the BEAST. And if you can take a photo of someone else while they are under attack please do so. I have yet to make the physical acquaintance of another CHer but if I do, I will let you know. Short of that only a tad, post a dozen or two of your attack photos as time allows. Thank You.
