People, I would like to tell you that I am very sad at the moment. It doesn't probably mean anything to anyone here anymore, because all the people who where interested in the well-being of others seem to have left here.
I am really sad that this is an exclusive club now. Probably the elite of the elite, since all who post here are real experts on diagnosing clusters thru the internet. My Doctors had to see me for that.
But I do not belong here. My Doctors where wrong. I do not have cluster headache. How I know this? Well, it is easy. Alcohol does not trigger them. Clusters ARE triggered by alcohol. I can eat small quantities of MSG. Cluster headache IS triggered by MSG. I sometimes have a light attack, slightly more than a shadow (is it the politically correct term?)for up to 12 or 15 hours. This is IMPOSSIBLE, since clusterheadaches seldom have a duration of more than 2 hours.
So I do not belong here, since I have no clusterheadaches by your definition, you experts. And since there is no atypical Clusterheadache I must suffer from something else.
I am sad that the board is not what it used to be.
It really was nicer when the board was ALIVE. People talking to other people, not only to post something.
There are quite a lot people I miss on this board.
But maybe I will find them outside of this elite club again. You might be proud to suffer from Clusterheadaches. I am not.
I am sad that a lot of clusterheadache sufferers lost a place to exchange not only information, but feelings as well.
I am sad that I am one of them.
I read a post that this looks to people like a prayer group for headache sufferers.
Actually it looks like the funeral service to a great idea that the great man DJ had.
Right now I am wondering why I am still writing this post, since the people who still are here probably will already feel stepped on their toes, insulted or otherwise attacked or flamed with this post.
For those few who read to the end, thank you for your interest.
Signing off,
Lars
